When they are in trouble, human beings always subconsciously look for help.

In this world. That's always the case.

There are gods in this world, many gods, the Lord of Light, the Goddess of Plenty, the Lady of the Four Seasons, the Lord of Wealth, and many others.

So, in this world, faith is necessary.

But unfortunately, the gods do not pay attention to everyone all the time, and there will always be some people who fall into pain without receiving any salvation.

Today's slums in Hall City are full of such people.

Although Hall City is very commercial, the aristocratic district in the center of the city is extremely luxurious, and the long lights inlaid with Philosopher's Stones make the nights here as bright as day, but for those in the slums, all this is not for them.

No one knows how big the slums of Hall City are and how many people are inside, in short, countless corpses will be strewn here every day, allowed to be eaten by crows or rats, and bankrupt people and refugees outside will flow here every day.

People in the slums have no way to save themselves, nor do they have any power to save themselves, the only thing they can do is pray.

Pray that I can dig some food in the trash today, pray that someone will pity me when begging today, pray that I will have a better life in the next life, and pray that I will enter the Lord's heaven after death.

The only problem is that these people don't necessarily pray to the right gods.

For a long time, the slums had been the target of cleansing by the Holy Light See and other gods, and a large group of cultists would pop up every once in a while, and the people in the Holy Light Church certainly knew why, but all the high-ranking bishops did was to clean them regularly.

Perhaps the Great Lord of Light has long ceased to pay attention to these believers from dark corners.

At this time, Xin Yu's doppelganger was wandering aimlessly in the slums, and although she wore a hood and cloak that could make it difficult for people to see herself, it was still dangerous for a little girl to be alone in such a place.

However, Loz followed her closely, belonging to the nature of the heart-grabbing demon, so that he exuded the coercion of the creatures on the food chain, so that all the little ones did not dare to act rashly.

"This place is full of malice, Mother Goddess." Lotz could sense what the humans nearby were thinking, and there were many people who were unkind to their new faces.

Xin Yu said: "Of course, this will be the case, but we also have to understand here to see what kind of ground snakes there are, and we will definitely deal with them in the future." The

number of people in this slum is beyond her imagination, the southern region has been very chaotic in recent years, war and famine have brought a large number of refugees, and Hall City is the place with the most refugees.

At first, Xin Yu was still wondering what so many people huddled in the slums relied on to survive, but soon she knew.

In this slum, religious priests from the Holy Light Church distribute food here, although it is small, but it is enough to sustain many people's lives, and several other churches have set up relief points.

The food used for relief is called brown soup, which looks like a bowl of brown soup like its name.

It is said that the raw materials of the brown soup came from the alms of the upper nobles, to put it bluntly, the leftover food of those nobles, all poured into the garbage heap and turned out edible things, and cooked together in a large cauldron.

Maybe it's because the raw materials aren't fresh enough. The soup is always brown, and the type and portion of food inside is never certain.

Sometimes there is meat inside, the most is rat meat, and if you are lucky, you can find large pieces of meat inside.

However, Xin Yu just glanced at it from a distance and decided that she would never touch this thing, because she could feel that there was human flesh in the cauldron where the soup was cooked...

In any case, there are indeed many people in the slums who survive on this brown soup and do not starve to death.

But only a small number of people who believe in the Lord of Light can drink brown soup, and the rest of them may not even be able to drink brown soup, and the amount of brown soup every day is completely insufficient for everyone in the slums, so every day there will be people who die of hunger in no-brainers... Maybe the next time I see him will be in the brown soup.

What is the difference between this place and hell?

Xin Yu now finally knows why all kinds of demonic beliefs will flourish in this slum, just relying on themselves, the people in these slums can not survive at all, can only rely on those gods, at least in this world, the gods are not ethereal.

Then walking towards the depths of the slum, Xin Yu noticed a group of orphans.

This is a group of orphans who huddle to warm up, the youngest are only three or four years old, and the older ones are only eleven or twelve years old, these orphans hold knives made of iron sheets, vigilantly watching everyone passing by.

This group of children surprised Xin Yu, being able to survive in such a place showed that they were indeed capable, and having three or four-year-old children between them showed that they would protect the weak people on their side.

Xin Yu suddenly became interested in this group of children, and if they could, these children could become good seedlings for believers.

Just as Xin Yu was about to contact these children, someone took the lead.

This person might as well directly write the three words "I am a cultist" on his face, only to see that he was wearing a blood-red robe, with a mask of hatred on his face, and a strong bloody aura was permeated all over his body.

This guy looks like a cultist no matter how he looks at it, why dare he walk directly in the slums?

The man dressed like a cultist walked up to the group of children and said, "How about children, have you decided to serve my Lord?"

Xin Yu immediately understood that she had actually met her peers!

"Join you to believe in demons? Forget it. The child at the head directly refused, he knew very well what the "lord" of the person in front of him was, and he did not intend to believe at all.

"Oh yes? But do you really think you can feed so many of your brothers and sisters yourself? The cultist said with a sly smile.

At this time, about a dozen people in black robes surrounded the children, obviously not intending to let these children go like this.

"Just choose a few people as sacrifices, and all of you can throw yourself into the arms of our Lord and get food and shelter, why not?"

The child spat and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you're trying to turn us all into sacrifices." "

The children of these slums have been surrounded by these black-robed people, and when they see that they are about to be arrested, those black-robed people suddenly can't control their bodies, and they all stand stiffly.

Lotz made a move, and in just an instant, he directly controlled the bodies of these black-robed people.
