The bloody heart of the leader of the Plague Church rolled down.
Those blind believers were about to commit suicide, Lin Jie sighed, and directly controlled everyone with his thoughts.
"Where's Tao Ruisi?" Lin Jie didn't bother to talk to these believers, and instead asked the elves who had unlocked the chains.
One of the old elves said: "The door between the dream world and the real world has been opened, and Master Doris is going to see Ms. Baiyin and Boss Lin."
Lin Jie nodded. Tao Ruisi did say that she would come to see me before, but now it seems... probably just missed it.
"Let's go." Lin Jie said, the elves hesitated to speak, and finally knelt down to salute Lin Jie, and supported each other, and walked back to the road to the upper city.
At this time, many miners attracted by the noise gradually appeared in the tunnel, watching Lin Jie in the dark with fear.
The existence of the Plague Church cannot be ignored by the entire underground. Even the upper city has acquiesced in their existence. Therefore, most people have heard of the teachings of the Plague Church.
When the god in the ground wakes up, everything in the world will be destroyed.
And they, who have been polluted by gods, actually have a stronger connection with Lin Jie. For Lin Jie, they have a kind of natural closeness and awe.
Lin Jie raised his hand and gently brushed away the red hair that was coagulated with blood, and the invisible mighty power gathered to heal her wound and return her life.
Even if life and death are in Lin Jie's control, he is almost omnipotent, but the power of all these is like a demon that is entangled with him and is about to change him.
The girl's face began to turn red again, she coughed hard a few times, tears flowed out of her closed eyes, which may be too late because of death, and then slowly opened her eyes, Lin Jie's calm face came into her eyes .
"...Lin, boss?" Hong said weakly.
From the moment he saw Lin Jie, in his memory, his face was expressionless, as if tomorrow would be the end of the world, and he seemed to have seen everything through, always observing everything with indifference.
But now, Lin Jie's gaze is gentle and concerned, just like the gaze of his grandmother looking at him when he was sick, but it is different.
However, Lin Jie's hand tightly covering his neck was no different from the big warm hands of grandma in his memory.
When they were redheaded and dizzy, they gently stroked their foreheads, as if they were loving hands that could cure all diseases.
Both Lin Jie and grandma became Hong's warmest memories at this moment.
"Am I dead? Boss Lin?" She asked hoarsely.
Lin Jie loosened his frown and said with a smile, "No, I resurrected you."
"...It turns out that you really can resurrect people." Hong lifted the corner of her mouth vigorously, and smiled slightly.
"Because I am a god." Lin Jie said seriously.
Hong froze for a moment, shook his head and said: "You are the same person as my grandmother, you treat me like a child, and you are the one who loves me."
"From now on, you are no longer a child." Lin Jie smiled gently and helped her up. The girl's already stiff limbs almost fell down, and Lin Jie held her up again.
Hong looked at the crowd that blocked her, took two steps forward, and stared blankly at everyone.
Lin Jie grabbed Hong's hand, pulled him in front of all members of the Plague Church, and suddenly said, "Your leader is dead."
"From now on, Hong is the leader of the new Plague Church."
Just like the Ash Chamber of Commerce will compete with Rolle for resources, after the upper and lower cities are connected, the Church of the Plague must coexist with the Church of the Sun... Otherwise, one day, the Church of the Sun God will become the next Church of the Dome.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, but the one lying on the ground was the leader, and the one standing in front of him was the true God, so they couldn't help but not believe it.
"I..." Hong opened her mouth wide, wanting to say something.
Lin Jie didn't want everyone to react, and didn't let Hong speak. He dragged her forward to the wellhead where they sneaked underground for the first time. The original black wellhead was now filled with gray mist.
Lin Jie turned his head to look at Hong, and said, "Even a child will grow up one day. Not all adults are bad people, and it is because there are so many bad adults that Hong will become a good adult. You It can make more people better.”
Hong opened her red eyes wide, looking at the smiling Lin Jie.
"Because people will always grow up, it's not a choice, it's like I have to go back to my hometown."
"Boss Lin doesn't want to go back to his hometown?" Hong realized that something was wrong with Lin Jie, and said eagerly, holding his hand.
Lin Jie smiled, and said frankly: "I don't want to, although I have spent much more time in 'there' than in 'here'...but the word hometown is really important to a person's identity."
From the earth to Nuojin, a short thirty-year life is really just a drop in the ocean compared to the endless time... Lin Jie looked at the mouth of the well filled with gray mist, and continued: "You let me understand a lot, Like dreams about humans like you."
Thinking that he might not be able to come back, Lin Jie simply told Hong everything about himself.
Including that if I return to the body of that god, I will no longer be Lin Jie.
"I am that god. I killed my parents and their friends in another world...Because of my book, my blind instinct caused countless sacrifices. Because of my existence, the entire lower city They're all polluted."
"I don't like this, but these are the facts." Lin Jie sighed and said, "If I accept the identity as a god, how should I bear the mistakes I made?"
"These things, let the self-blame of being a person press me hard, turn them into another voice in my heart, tell me, I am God, I don't have to pity everyone, I can control life and death, I can control everything , I can get whatever I want..."
"These words let me get out of my self-blame, but they made me gradually leave the person I like."
Lin Jie smiled wryly as he spoke, then squatted down and touched his red head: "I'm sorry, I didn't treat you like a child when I told you this."
"...I am not a child anymore, Boss Lin, what you said." Hong suddenly interrupted Lin Jie, and said with her hips on her hips, "But whether I am a child or not, I know a little bit."
Hong raised her hand to hold Lin Jie's face, pressed her forehead against his, closed her eyes lightly, and said, "Because I know—"
"Boss Lin is the savior."
Lin Jie's dark pool-like eyes suddenly lit up.
"You're the savior of those books I said I'd heard about."
"Because of your sacrifice, I can have the opportunity to realize my dream." Hong said, tears flowed down the undried tears again, and she continued:
"Because of you, when you become the soul of this unconscious evil god, he will stop polluting."
"You are Boss Lin, you are not an evil god, you are a savior."
Lin Jie looked at Hong, her red cheeks and sparkling eyes, suddenly seemed to understand something.
"You're right, I can't even figure out such a simple thing." Lin Jie smiled and said, "Hong, remember... There used to be a boss Lin who liked to sell books, he was warm, kind, and helpful. Such a person... so many people like him."
Hong nodded vigorously, and at the same time felt that Lin Jie she was touching was gradually becoming transparent. She anxiously withdrew her hand, only to find that Lin Jie had completely turned into gray mist.
"Boss Lin!"
She shouted, but the gray mist that filled the entire ground began to shrink slowly, quickly converging into the hole beside Hong.
The gray mist that existed underground for thousands of years finally dissipated.
As if the rain had passed and the sky cleared up, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the pollution stopped at this moment.
The crocodile-like epidermis on Hong's body began to gradually disappear and fall off, and the tentacles on her chin also slowly retracted her skin, gradually revealing the appearance of a chubby red-haired little girl with fair skin and rosy skin.
With a pair of red eyes, seeing that the pollution of the people around them has also begun to stop, they rejoice and celebrate their new life.
But Hong couldn't see her appearance, and she couldn't feel happy, she just looked at Lin Jie under the abyss with blurred eyes and worry.
There is a savior who changed everything and stepped into hell.
Lin Jie, who had reached the ground, emerged from the gray mist, and his black cloak was spread on the ground, like a pilgrim's priestly robe. The tip of his nose smelled a strong smell of blood, and a red evil god's lair was built from flesh and blood all over the ground.
And in the palace made of flesh and blood, a blood-stained throne stood at the very center.
That was the throne prepared for him for tens of millions of years.
"Boss Lin——!!!" A familiar voice came from the top of the head, Hong, who had ended the pollution and regained her girlish appearance, was calling his name——
"Boss Lin! You are not an evil god, you are mine, everyone's savior!!"
She kept shouting until she was exhausted, until she couldn't say a word anymore.
Listening to her voice, Lin Jie walked slowly towards the throne, like a wanderer returning home for many years, or a martyr as he said, "If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell will go to hell".
He sat down and fell into a peaceful sleep.
