messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 59 The only sinner, the best result
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was so heavy that I had to find a place to hide from the rain.

In the ruins, Chu and B3068 found a church. Compared with other buildings, it is quite well preserved, at least the roof is not damaged.As a shelter from the rain, it has met the requirements.

The size of the church is not small, with corridors, courtyards, confessional rooms, and chapels all available. Although no one has been here for a long time, you can still see the appearance of countless believers who gathered here back then.

When Chu and B3068 pushed open the door of the chapel, a cloud of dust fell from the door that had been dusty for an unknown amount of time.

B3068 stomped its feet to shake off the rainwater left on its body. As for the dust that just fell, it didn't care, it was already covered all over.

The sound of B3068's stomping echoed in the wide and silent chapel. Looking ahead, rows of benches lined up on both sides.Dust piled up on it, some were tilted, and some fell to the ground, which made this originally solemn place of prayer look a bit desolate.

The faint sunshine in the rain passes through the windows on the wall and falls in front of the prayer altar, leaving it a rare bit of holiness.

"Swish."

Raindrops were beating on the window, and the sound of rain continued outside.

Chu briefly looked around the chapel.

For some reason, his eyes stayed in front of the prayer platform, a little lost in thought.

There were no nuns singing psalms, no priests reading, just a single book lying there, on a stand in front of the altar.

"Drip drip."

The electronic sound of B3068 sounds, it seems to be complaining about the bad weather, it doesn't like rainy days, rainy days may short circuit it.

Chu walked slowly towards the prayer platform, until she stood still in front of the platform, she looked up at the wall behind the prayer platform, which was painted with exquisite murals.

Although the color has come off in many places, it is still not difficult to see what the mural is painting.

It depicts a blood-colored wasteland, and the cloudy sky above the wasteland is covered with seven-colored rays of light, and there is a mouth in the rays of light, which seems to represent an unknown voice.

That's why Chu has been staring at this place since he came in. This mural is like painting the Apostles' Wasteland.

Painting the wilderness where she stands.

B3068 didn't know this, but when it saw Chu staring at the mural in a daze, it didn't bother Chu, and quietly found a bench and sat down.

Because I ignored it at first, it could only listen to the sound of the rain while spinning its fingers boredly.

After a long time, Chu stopped staring at the murals and lowered her head to look at the book on the stand.

It was a thick book. If you want to describe how thick it is, it is probably the kind of weight that can cause fatal injuries to people if you hit it on the head.

Chu reached out to wipe the dust off the pages of the book, and then opened the book.

On the first page of the opening chapter, there is only one sentence written on the book.

"The god is dead, but his will is still alive, continuing his unfinished business."

The text in the book was understandable at first glance, and when the task information was conveyed, the voice had already conveyed the various languages ​​of this world to her.

At the beginning of the reading, her instinct told her she should read on.

She didn't know how long she had been reading, and she turned over the dark yellow pages one by one.

Until she read one of the chapters, her hand stopped.

"God once sent a messenger to take away man's sin, but the messenger died of sin in the end. After God left, His will inherited this unfinished business. It wanted to take away man's evil, so it began to look for the messenger.

God's will is different from God's. It calls countless people and lives to the wasteland.

It is so cruel and ruthless that it has sent countless lives to kill each other, only to choose the most evil.

Until the villain is born from the corpse.

It uses sin to reshape the villain's body, let sin tear its body, let pain sing praises for its birth, and let suffering mold its soul.

Bad karma swallowed it like a mire, and black shadows covered its face.

Because it is a villain born from a corpse, it does not deserve the slightest mercy.

God willed him to cry out in pain, to pray, to beg for mercy, all of which were ignored.

Finally, the villain was covered in darkness, waiting for the oracle.

God's will said it was called an apostle, and ordered it to go to the world and bring back sin.

Therefore, God's will made the most evil person take away the sins of people, and then let them bear the punishment for people, so that the sins can disappear.

- "The Birth of the Apostles"

At the beginning, I looked at the pages of the book, and looked at the confession on the pages.

It is also impossible to tell whether it is a coincidence or necessity, as if she is destined to see this text.

Suddenly, she had a feeling of looking at herself, as if she was watching her own birth from the perspective of a bystander.

Isn't it, how similar it is to the scene when she was born.

Emerge from the corpse, covered in shadows.

Like the villain, she was ordered to bear the crime.

He looked at one of his own palms for the first time.

Suddenly, she was talking to herself calmly.

"That's it."

There was no trace of resentment or hatred in the voice.

It turned out that she should be a villain, so she wanted to take away the sin and bear the punishment for others.

So be it, she would like to.

Just like she was willing to take away the sins of Hillman and Sakurako, she was also willing to take away B3068's, everyone's.

After all, she is more suitable, isn't she? Just like the so-called worst villain, she is also a monster-like villain.

B3068 looked at the church, curious about this peculiar building, and looked around.

At this time, it saw a rope tied to the wall of the church. B3068 looked at the rope suspiciously and stretched out his hand to pull it.

The rope is pulled and the dust from it falls.

then···
"when!"

The church bell was rung, spread in the rain, spread in the gray city.

B3068 was surprised, and then pulled the rope. It always enjoys these things that make sounds.

"Dangdang, dang--"

The ceremony bell rang again and again, as if it had returned to the way it was when it was praying.

The nuns stood on the prayer platform and sang hymns.

The priest read the speech.

Under the prayer platform, Chu stood alone.

The holy light shone on her through the window, leaving her sin nowhere to hide.

Before the holy prayer.

She is a sinner, and the only sinner.

Listen in silence, God's punishment.

"Hail Mary, you are full of grace.

The Lord is with you.

You are praised among women.

Blessed be your Son Jesus.

Holy Mary of God.

Please ask God now for us sinners, to grant us forgiveness. "

So if God forgives the world and leaves only one sinner, isn’t that the best result?

(Reply to the book review: Many readers said that this world is a bit like the robot WALL-E. Well, how should I put it, part of the inspiration comes from this anime, but the ruins and the lonely robot are a bit similar. In addition Some settings and the main story line will definitely be different, and you can also compare them yourself.

Then there was a reader who said that it is impossible for sin to be taken away, how can I not go to heaven.Smile bitterly, of course I know that evil cannot be taken away, this is just a setting, a conceptual thing of false meaning.If you insist on saying that, then you can talk about luck and karma in Xiuxian novels, and I can't stop you.

Well, that's all for now, travel in the New Year, everyone pay attention to safety, bye. )
