They all call me the Outer God

As he spoke, two lines of tears slid down the wrinkles on the old man's face. He actually covered his face and cried, and he was out of breath. It made people think of a fat white bear in a miserable state.

In the face of faith, even the hardest shell will become fragile and brittle.

He felt that all his crimes were seen by the sun, and the sense of guilt that he had not felt for a long time took root and sprouted in his soul at this moment.

But more of it was shame.

Riya looked at him with pity and patted his back to help him calm down.

"It sounds like a serious crime, Bishop, but as you said, the sun is great and will purify all filth.

Whether your crime can be forgiven, we still need to ask His will."

"... Stop crying, come and have some bread."

Riya really couldn't stand the other person's bitter face, as if he had done something to the other person. Then, in order to calm the old man's mood, he stuffed the black bread he bought in the morning into the other person's mouth and let the other person eat something to relax.

The old man bit it subconsciously, and with a few "crackling" sounds, three of his few teeth were directly broken by the black bread.

He covered his bleeding mouth: "What did you give me to eat?"

It was bitter and sour, and smelled tasteless, but when he took a bite, the bishop suspected that he was chewing a piece of rusty pig iron.

"My breakfast, don't look at it as ordinary, it can even be used as a hammer." Riya briefly introduced his food to the other party, knocked on the table twice, and smashed a shallow pit on the wooden table.

"Do you find it difficult to swallow, but this is what most people in Wens Town eat all day long. As for why it's not the vast majority... because some people can't afford it at all."

Black bread is fine when it's hot, but once it cools, it is an extremely hard "weapon" that can easily break an adult's elbow joint.

"You should repent."

Riya made a conclusion, and the same note as last time appeared on the table, but this time, its content was slightly changed.

The note stated: "Cardinal Brown. Kaido. Chi, the confession is true, and he is judged to have a repentant heart. Hereby [characters blurred] he is allowed to leave the confessional to pay for his sins."

Soon after this text appeared, the door of the confessional reappeared.

Riya raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect Guangyao Xuri to let the cardinal go so easily. He immediately wanted to say something to tease the cardinal.

But things are far from being so simple.

Brown's body stood up like a jointed puppet. When he saw the new door, he instantly collapsed as if he had found the door to hell, and was pulled by some invisible things to prevent him from falling to the ground.

He pointed in the direction of the door with horror, and made a "hehe" sound.

"What's there?" Riya also looked in the direction of his finger, but didn't see anything.

Brown suddenly stood up and walked towards the door with an extremely reluctant expression. His expression was abnormal, and his limbs were unnatural as if they were being pulled by something.

Riya thought about it and suddenly found that the other party's figure perfectly overlapped with the puppets in some performance theaters.

However, the bishop's movements were not as agile and graceful as the puppets in the theater, but were stiff and inconsistent.

"I am guilty."

He repeated this sentence again when he approached the door, and then he stretched his hand to the brown wooden door and began to dig the wood paint on the door with his fingernails.

While digging, the old man shouted "hot" and "very hot". In his eyes, the so-called wooden door had long become a fire door that was burned red and covered with high-temperature resistant moss and insects.

The wood paint was those insects, and he had to peel them all off, otherwise he would not be able to leave behind this door.

If he had ever doubted the existence of the sun, then at this moment he had never felt His existence so clearly.

He forgave him.

The condition was "leave the confessional".

With this simple condition, Brown fell into the abyss.

The skin on the back of his hand, which was originally intact, had begun to carbonize and fall off due to the high temperature erosion. The veins wrapped in blood quickly turned black, and red sparks attached to the top and jumped, and then spread to every inch of muscle cells.

He didn't want to touch the door, but the nameless power had already controlled him, and the blood-colored silk thread would complete all the instructions for Him.

Brown raised his turbid eyes and looked at the silk thread attached to his body that was embedded in his clothes and spread directly to his bones. The tears on his face evaporated instantly.

"Is this... faith?"

Those silk threads that were so thin that they were almost unobservable had woven spider web cages for all believers, and every believer could not escape their bondage.

But...

When Brown looked at Leah, he found that countless blood-colored silk threads were surging around him, as if as long as the young man was willing to reveal a crack in his heart, they could rush in crazily and completely wrap the new believer into a cocoon.

But they didn't do that, but surrounded him like thousands of venomous snakes and centipedes.

Brown seemed to understand something.

"You have never believed in Him."

This is simply unbelievable and contrary to common sense.

How can someone ask for something from a God, recite His words of call, and at the same time have no faith in Him, and completely treat Him as a tool.

This is blasphemy against God!

"Sure enough, the disordered are the disordered, and you will go to hell sooner or later - hehe, yes, my sins will be burned out with the blazing fire of the shining sun, but your sins will not.

I look forward to the day when your sins are truly judged."

After saying that, Brown suddenly approached the wooden door and completely pressed himself against it.

He was hugging the wooden door, and it was like hugging his own death.

The fire worms quickly crawled all over his body, and his clothes were also invaded by dense moss spores.

Soon, the new mosses "broke out of the ground" from under the charred flesh and blood.

"Squeak..."

The door opened.

The cardinal fell to the ground outside the door, twitching all over, his eyes wide open, and a little saliva still remaining at the corners of his mouth, but even so, it could not hide the appearance of him missing three teeth.

"It seems that he saw some pretty terrifying hallucinations."

Leah shook her head regretfully and closed the door again.

Now there were only him and the Sunrise in the confessional, no one was disturbing, and it was quiet.

"Praise you."

Riya leaned on his cane with one hand and made a sun sign on his chest with the other hand. Then he called out Little Swar and plucked another feather from it.

"The shining Sunrise,

The new star in the land of life and death,

The center of the cycle of all things,

Breaking through the day and night with flames,

I am waiting in the boundless place,

Singing praises to the Sunrise,

Offering gifts to the Sunrise,

Becoming the Sunrise."
