I'm the former civilized Yingjie

Ryan thought in his heart, and bowed respectfully on his face to pay respect to the forerunners, because this old bastard like Honkai is only looking for food. If he appeared 1000 years ago, the Herrscher would probably It will also be 1000 years in advance, and there will be no helpers in that dark age.

The two continued to walk inside, and Ryan listened to Apponia telling the deeds of each hero. He seemed very patient, and he was not as obsessed with science as Mebius and Mei.

At that time, there was neither science nor the guides left over from the previous civilization. Of course, we could only rely on religion and metaphysics to unite people, so we would not laugh at Aponia's appearance as a magic stick.

She has been raised in the church since she was a child. Do you still expect her to explain the Honkai phenomenon from the theory of imaginary numbers and quantum mechanics?

After introducing the last saint, Ryan smiled and said, "It seems like your faith is very firm."

"I have also been hesitant and wavered. After all, that ability is a curse, which makes people question the truth in the scriptures." Aponya sighed, looking at Ryan with a hair-raising look, "But now I have become firm again Arise, God has not given up on the world and has sent his messenger.”

Well, the Star God is also a god, and it is true that I became an apostle.

Ryan acquiesced, feeling that he was already full of metaphysics. He was about to explain along the topic when he suddenly heard a 'dang' sound.

"Let's go, the sermon is about to begin."

The voices in the entire church suddenly fell silent, and humans walked to the next hall like puppets. There were rows of benches over there, already filled with people.

In front of it is a high platform, with a giant statue inlaid on the wall, which looks like a pair of palms placed in a cross. This is the symbol of the church, so unbelievers call it Crossism.

Ryan always felt that this scene looked familiar except that there were more people. After thinking about it for a moment, wasn't this the scene in Snow Prison Town? He shot the priest in the head with one shot.

He wasn't very interested, but Aponya had already taken a seat and was looking away, so he had no choice but to sit down.

In the dead silence, he saw a figure in a complicated robe walking up to the high platform and pressing his hands down to silence the newly agitated believers.

Wow, is this the power of metaphysics, making a group of civilians more obedient than the regular army?

He looked at the old man called the 'Pope'. Before that, Ryan had only heard of him in the news. Now that he had experienced the supreme authority in person, he couldn't help but have an idea.

Could such a world-class boss be the Zhuhuo Councilor?

Occasionally having this thought, he secretly glanced at Aponya, who was looking attentive, and activated the authority of the wind.

The flames of the candlesticks swayed, and the subtle breeze swept around and penetrated everywhere. A moment later, Ryan's eyes twitched as he was listening to the tortoise chanting sutras.

Underground, Honkai Impact can react! ?

Chapter 255 As everyone knows, I am a physicist

"God teaches us that saints are our forerunners and our guardians. They block the wind and rain and create light with their blood."

"God's apostles are powerful. Demons are not necessarily demons, and humans are not necessarily fellow humans. Only by following God can we escape suffering."

"Don't look at the world with your eyes, use your heart to understand good and evil."

......

The solemn and gentle voice echoed in the church, making people concentrate unconsciously. The Pope was preaching, and occasionally talked about his views on a certain sentence.

With the status bonus, his opinions are almost equivalent to the truth, leading people to think deeply, as if whatever they think is correct, and his speaking skills are so good that even the most rigorous thinking person cannot jump out of loopholes.

There is something called 'faith' permeating the air, which seems to make the souls begin to resonate, and also makes the non-believers who are watching the fun become serious, as if they have found some strange feeling.

Ryan was also very focused, even more focused than Aponya next to him, almost splitting his brain in half.

Half of the brain controls the authority and carefully searches the entire cathedral, just like a super computer, filtering people and things. Because there is too much data, the brain is slightly swollen.

Half of the brain was thinking frantically, starting to study the clues it had read.

This cathedral is a historic site. Could it be that there are some powerful holy relics?

Impossible. This world is not magical. There are no holy relics. If there are really remnants of the previous era, the Fire Chasing Moth would have taken them away for research. Even if there are any special supplies, they cannot be preserved. The ancient divine weapons are here. It's all rubbish to this day.

Ryan almost controls the research department. He has never heard of the Cross Church being related to Honkai Impact. If there really was a lost technology, it would have been dismantled and studied long ago.

Then there are the facilities for researching Honkai energy, which is very interesting. Let’s not mention that the research department has no relevant information at all. Normal people would not put the research facilities under the church, right? What is this picture?

Safety?This is the center of Rome. If an accident occurs, it must not become a huge scandal. How could those politicians who cherish their feathers do it?

You must know that science and theology have always been mortal enemies. When Mei was studying the imaginary number space, these magicians tried their best to lead Honkai to Divine Punishment.

That's a secret, yes. If I hadn't been infected with Patophilis' European aura, I wouldn't have been able to come to the church, let alone listen to it boringly and use my authority to detect it.

It was too much of a coincidence. At least in terms of logic and rationality, it was impossible for Ryan to have anything to do with it. He could only blame it on Pado for the time being. When he thought about it, he felt relieved and suddenly found it interesting.

'It can also be linked to Apponia's paintings, and then who needs to bypass the censorship of the Research Department and maintain absolute confidentiality? '

Ryan raised his head and looked at the Pope on the stage. He didn't know when he had finished speaking. He was reaching into a gold bottle and sprinkling water drops.

Blessing with holy water is a supreme ritual. Legend has it that people who are sprinkled with holy water will be relieved of disasters and pain. But the most terrifying thing is that not a single believer leaves his seat.

They sat silently, reciting obscure scriptures, and cooperated with the choir on the stage, condensing a power called 'faith', which would shock even atheists at this moment.

Faith, oh yes, is faith.

Ryan narrowed his eyes, already having an answer. He watched the Pope pass through the corridor surrounded by people, and sprinkled cool water droplets on his head, their eyes touching briefly.

There was a hint of surprise in the old man's gaze, after all, few people looked directly at him, but it soon turned into kindness, and he even nodded slightly.

There is no problem on the surface, but what the magic stick is best at is acting.

Ryan wiped the water droplets from his forehead. He was sure that this person was not capable of Honkai reaction, and he was even more sure that he was inseparable from this matter, because the underground space under the church was too big, and not everyone could do it.

"What's the matter with you?"

At this time, Aponya's voice entered his ears. Ryan turned his head and saw that her expression was still compassionate, even more real than that of the Pope.

"Why aren't you excited when the boss of your Christian church walks by?"

"What do you mean by boss, and it sounds like you are star-chasing." Aponya couldn't help laughing, and then shook his head solemnly: "I believe in God, not him. The so-called Pope is just a spokesperson. , and I don’t know who the authority comes from.”

Oh, and a fundamentalist.

Ryan was not surprised. He felt that Aponya did not even believe in 'gods', but believed in fate itself, so he stood up calmly.

The detection has been initially completed. The underground area is huge and complex. No abnormalities can be found for the time being, and further investigation is needed.

"Are you happy today?"

"Well, I haven't relaxed for a long time. Forget it, I just have a wish. I wanted to come and take a look when we were on Twilight Street."

"Very satisfied?"

"No, there's no sense of satisfaction. Just look at it and forget about it."

Aponya was very happy, but also a little disappointed, so that Ryan didn't know what the woman was thinking. She hesitated for a while before saying:

"Then you go back first. Calculating the time, Qianjie is almost reaching its limit."

"You have something to do?"

"You can't help with some small things, so don't worry about me. By the way, remember to cook the rice. I'll come back to eat later."

At first, Aponya was a little hesitant, but after hearing the last words, he bowed with peace of mind, turned around and left.

"Wait a minute." Ryan stopped her and said suspiciously: "You are so cheerful, aren't you afraid that I will demolish the residence of the spokesperson of the Christian Church?"

The nun was slightly startled. Unexpectedly, Ryan's question was quite tricky, and she quickly chuckled again.

“To me, you are the real voice.”

The nun left, leaving behind a graceful figure. Ryan looked at it for a long time before scratching his nose.

After staying with the dead duck for a long time, he is really not used to Aponya's straightforwardness. He can say "I need you" clearly without any need to hide it.

Not bad, saves me from second guessing.

Ryan also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Aponya's faith existed, but it was very twisted. What she believed in seemed to be on another level.

"It's good that it's not an ordinary magic stick, otherwise it would be a bit annoying."

Ryan didn't think much about it. He looked around and saw that there were no cameras around. His whole body seemed to blend into the air and disappear in the blink of an eye.

Well, physicists are here to explore theology.

......

Aponya walked out of the church, and the dusk sunlight dyed her face a golden color. Not to mention ordinary believers, even the passing nuns and priests cast surprised glances.

She seemed to become a painting when she stood at the door of the church, making people feel like she was integrated into St. George's Cathedral, and her impact was stronger than the Pope.

Because there was a bit of divine fanaticism on his compassionate face, his eyes swept over everyone with love, and finally stayed on the sunset glow of dusk.

Like these people, she once dreamed of going on pilgrimage here, but after experiencing too many failed struggles, Aponya suddenly discovered that this kind of piety was meaningless, and no matter how hard she prayed, she could not get an answer.

The pope is fake, the scriptures are fake, maybe even God is fake, the only real thing in the world is the devil, and the cruel and stubborn fate, the kind of premonition that someone will die, but can't stop it no matter what. It feels like a curse.

'Only God can change destiny. All humans can do is struggle. Just when I was becoming pessimistic, the real apostle came to me and made me understand that the future can really be changed. '

Aponya walked down the stairs, her plump chest beating with the steps. At such a beautiful scene, no one dared to cast a lustful look. Instead, they turned their heads sideways, as if it would be blasphemous to look at it more.

clang - clang -

The nun who walked to the edge of the square turned her head and saw the giant bell swaying, the magnificent St. George's Cathedral dyed gold, white doves flying, and a flood of believers.

The picturesque scene was reflected in his blue eyes, but there was no hint of surprise, as if he was looking at an ordinary building.

"Compared to you, these are just a bunch of stone houses without any miracles."

Her tone was like a motto, which made others unable to hear clearly, but they tried their best to hear what she just said. But when they came to their senses, the nun had disappeared into the square.

Aponya didn't want to find out the secrets or ask questions. She just wanted to keep her eyes open.

Let those stubborn images disappear in the hands of men.

Chapter 256 Sure enough, there is something underground!

"Who is that nun?"

When Aponya left, not only the believers but also the Pope cast admiring glances at her.

No matter from which angle you look at it, this is a pious and perfect nun, as if you can see the shadow of the previous saints in her.

The bishops looked at each other and quickly replied: "Your Majesty, the people are not from the cathedral. They should be pilgrims from some monastery outside."

"In today's dangerous era, you can still come to the Holy City regardless of the risk, which shows your piety. You will send people to visit me in the future to inquire about my welfare. It would be best if you can stay in the Holy City."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

No one was jealous. After all, Aponya looked so good. When he sat there, he was basically a spokesperson, and the Pope was also moved.

"It has been vacant since the death of the previous chief nun. If she is willing to take on this important task, she can also be included as a candidate."

"As ordered."

The Pope nodded with satisfaction. The chief nun is the mascot, and the most important thing about a mascot is its image. Even a mute is fine, but the last mascot died unexpectedly and there was no time to fill the vacancy.

"I didn't expect to meet a perfect candidate by chance today. It's really a blessing from the gods."

“Praise be to God Almighty.”

A group of people prayed on the steps, causing thousands of believers to do the same gesture. It took a few seconds for them to return to normal.

"Your Majesty, do you still need to do today's work?" a bishop asked in a low voice.

"Of course, in this era of demons everywhere, we should have swords in our hands."

“But there are not enough volunteers anymore.”

"Then go look for it. In the Holy City, there are countless people who are willing to become the sword of God. They have the firm belief to pass the test."

"Yes, we understand, then you..."

"I will not participate. Fire Chaser has something to do and I have to go to New York."

The bishops said no more. They knew that the church's position in the Chasing Fire Moth was not only a financial sponsor, but also one that could influence hundreds of millions of believers across national borders.

There must be a place in the Fire Chaser Council.

But the Pope thought more. He also looked at the same sunset and sighed slightly.

That person hasn't shown up yet, forcing him to take some risks.

......

"Why doesn't that old guy come back?"

Ryan hid in the shadow of the building behind the church. This house was the church's office and residential area and was still a centuries-old monument.

The defense has obviously been upgraded to several levels. A large number of armed police officers are standing guard everywhere, but they can't see Ryan under their noses.

I wanted to wait for the Pope to come back and have a good talk with him, but I waited for several hours and saw no one.
