Chapter 41 Abnormality in the Church

The next day.

Ever since he came to the conclusion that "Varilla City might be a huge pigsty", Chen Fan has been unable to sleep.

Especially when he thought that the owner of this "pigsty" might be an alien civilization with higher technology, Chen Fan became more and more tormented.

Why do people raise pigs?

To satisfy their appetite.

Then why do alien civilizations keep humans in captivity?

Human experiments? To obtain cheap labor? Or... to satisfy their appetite as well?

But these have nothing to do with religion!

You can't say that the other party thinks that the meat of devout believers is more delicious, right?

That's fucking too much.

Chen Fan lay on the bed, with a pair of dark circles under his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

He shook his head and adjusted his way of thinking: If the owner of the "pigsty" is the church, what do they want to do?

Consolidate their own rule?

Then why does the church frequently select God's Chosen, and where do these God's Chosen go in the end?

I can't see clearly, I can't see clearly at all.

Chen Fan only felt that his life was like walking on thin ice, and he couldn't see the shadow of the other side at all.

"Knock, knock, knock."

A knock on the door interrupted Chen Fan's gradually dispersing thoughts.

Then, his mother's voice came from outside the door.

"Xiao Fan?"

"Someone is looking for you."

Then, his mother's voice was a little softer: "Lord Chosen One, please wait a moment..."

Before she finished speaking, a familiar loud voice sounded outside the door again.

"Wait?"

"No, no, I have something urgent!"

"I'll just go in and find him!"

Gao Yuan? Why is he here?

Chen Fan frowned subconsciously.

Judging from the posture yesterday, if he didn't say that he would never see each other again, he should at least be a stranger, right?

Before Chen Fan could figure out the reason, the closed door was pushed open.

...

"Fuck!"

"Are you Gao Yuan?!"

Looking at the tall man in front of him with pale lips, black eyes, and a look of exhaustion, Chen Fan jumped up from the bed in fear: "What did you do last night?"

Gao Yuan did not answer Chen Fan's question.

He closed the door carefully, then sat down on the cold concrete floor with a heavy breath.

"Chen Fan."

Gao Yuan's lips trembled violently for a few times: "I've thought about it for a long time."

"Maybe you're right..."

"Hmm?"

Chen Fan sat up straight.

"What do you mean? What happened?"

After the original owner of this body, another Chosen One discovered the abnormality?

Good guy, the awakened ones are the most devout believers, playing backstab with the goddess, right?

"Chen Fan." Gao Yuan raised his head suddenly, and his bloodshot eyes revealed a bit of pleading, "We went to the church library yesterday, right?"

"Yes, that's what happened."

Chen Fan couldn't help but frowned: "Why do you ask that?"

Gao Yuan fell into silence.

For a long time.

He spoke again, but his voice was a little hoarse: "Last night, I went to the library of the cathedral again."

"The cathedral is not open to the public at night."

"Although the Chosen Ones are not restricted, but..."

Gao Yuan swallowed his saliva, his eyes showing deep horror: "The Archbishop and the Bishop usually let the Chosen Ones leave the cathedral in the evening, so..."

Chen Fan's pupils shrank, and he had some guesses in his mind.

It is estimated that Gao Yuan found something in the church last night, so he became like this today.

[This machine thinks you are right. ]

Yi, who had been silent all this time, also joined in the fun: [Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that the church's confidentiality work is not very good.]

"Don't worry, talk slowly."

He picked up the water cup beside him and handed it to Gao Yuan, who was still sitting on the ground: "What did you see in the cathedral?"

Gao Yuan did not reach out to take the glass of water.

He held his head tightly with both hands, and twisted blue veins appeared on his thick arms.

"Do you still remember the priests who were responsible for guarding the library?"

"They forgot that I went to the library during the day!"

"What?"

Chen Fan frowned and put the water cup aside: "What do you mean by forgot?"

"These priests don't remember that we went to the library at all."

Gao Yuan's face was pale: "I also specifically confirmed that the leading priest was the priest who was responsible for searching me in the afternoon. How could he forget me?"

[Was his memory erased?]

Yi's voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind.

'Erase memory? Is this possible?'

[There are many ways to achieve this effect. 】

【But to erase a memory so accurately... this is not easy. 】

"This is not over yet."

Gao Yuan's voice continued: "When they saw me, the Chosen One, they were surprised and even scared."

"That's understandable. After all, no Chosen One would go to the library of the Cathedral in the middle of the night."

"With the identity of the Chosen One, I successfully entered the library."

"I want to look for it again." Gao Yuan stretched out his hand to cover his bloodshot eyes, "I don't believe that such a large library would not have historical books before the first year of Varela. This is impossible!"

"I don't believe the church would do such a thing!"

Hearing this, Chen Fan couldn't help shaking his head.

Yes.

Another person fooled by the church.

He completely trusted the results of the scan and asked calmly: "So did you find it?"

Gao Yuan shook his head weakly.

"Not only have we not found any history books before the first year of Varela, even the Varela Chronicle has disappeared."

"...What did you say?!"

Chen Fan jumped up from the bed with a bang: "The Varela Chronicle has disappeared?!!"

Gao Yuan nodded affirmatively: "Not only the Varela Chronicle, but also some of the classics we read in the afternoon have disappeared."

All disappeared? !

A picture suddenly emerged in Chen Fan's mind: he followed Yi's instructions, took the book called Simple Principles of Mechanics off the bookshelf, and took it back to the desk after carefully reading it.

Damn!

This is a big deal!

Damn, he never expected that the church would play such a trick!

Chen Fan's face suddenly changed, and his expression was no longer calm:

"Then did you see a book without a cover and in tatters?"

"The title of the book is Simple Principles of Mechanics. I put it on the table at the time, next to the Varela Chronicle!"

Gao Yuan frowned and recalled carefully.

"I..."

"I didn't see this book."

"Anyway, there are no books on the table, and the books like Varela Chronicles can't be found on the bookshelf."

Chen Fan's face darkened, and he couldn't help but swear: "Fuck."

"What, what's wrong..."

Gao Yuan looked at Chen Fan with a puzzled look: "Is there any problem with that book?"

"Problem?"

Chen Fan curled his lips: "It's a big problem."

"In the entire library, only that book mentions information before the first year of Varela."
