Chapter 406: Holy Light Teaches You to Be Confident

As the saying goes.

When you feel stressed and think you are about to become depressed, the first thing to do is not to judge yourself as having a disease.

Instead, first find out whether the people around you who put pressure on you are really mentally ill!

Although she is the most loyal weapon trained by the church, Ming Deng is not without thoughts of her own. As she grows older, she has been troubled by some inexplicable troubles.

And today, in the Thane Dungeon, she was successfully stressed to the point of revealing her selfishness and finally understood what was bothering her -

"Why should I believe in the Holy Light?"

"Why should I follow the Archbishop's instructions?"

She stood there talking to herself. She had never thought about these questions since she was a child. It was as if there was a chain binding her thoughts tightly so that she could not think about these questions.

But the pressure that came today opened the door to a whole new world for her.

At this moment, a solemn and grand voice suddenly appeared in her mind:

[You are a loyal servant of the Holy Light and must contribute to the cause of the church throughout your life].

"Yes, I am a loyal servant of the Holy Light."

Another voice full of temptation and frivolity sounded.

[You are not a servant of the Holy Light. You just happened to have talent and the Archbishop took you back from the orphanage. He made you do dirty and tiring work every day. You have already repaid the twenty years of his upbringing. You were born free and you should not be defined!]

“Yes, I am free.”

Mingdeng was struggling with her conscience and her desires in her mind. Selfishness made her have ideas that she might not have had in her lifetime. And because these ideas were in sharp conflict with her long-held beliefs, the result was obvious.

She's down.

Fanatics are people whose faith cannot be easily shaken.

However, if it is shaken, it will collapse like a flood.

Staring at the bright lamp that stood there like a puppet, the invisible flesh and blood actually stopped attacking, as if it was quietly observing the situation.

Some monsters were attracted and surrounded the female knight. Invisible flesh and blood formed a wall around the bright lamp, isolating it from the monsters.

Mingdeng's delicate body trembled more and more violently, and she even rolled her eyes.

The serious voice in her mind gradually took over, her eyes gradually became clear, and a sense of relief flashed in her eyes, but a hint of regret was revealed in her deepest subconscious.

But at this moment, the invisible flesh and blood suddenly loosened a gap and let a monster in.

It was a skinny humanoid monster with an octopus-like head, but with a thick, transparent, white tentacle-like organ floating at the back of its head.

This is the [Brain-sucking Monster] from Bloodborne. Its characteristic is that it uses its white tentacles to suck people's brains and [clairvoyance].

Everyone knows what the consequences of increased clairvoyance are in a worldview similar to Cthulhu Mythos - seeing things that shouldn't be seen.

In order to cater to the feeling of a lightless area, Gong Qiying made some minor changes to the brain-sucking monsters here.

From absorbing people's spiritual vision to infusing spiritual vision!

"ah!"

Mingdeng was hugged and the tentacles pierced into his brain in an instant. Blood spurted out and it seemed as if something was pouring into his brain.

The pain temporarily stopped the two voices in her heart from fighting each other. She struggled to kill the brain-sucking monster, quickly treated her wounds, and stared at the invisible flesh and blood breathlessly.

As her spiritual vision improved, the invisible flesh and blood in her eyes changed into another appearance.

"ah"

She couldn't describe what she saw, she only knew one thing.

The already overwhelming pressure has exploded even more!

The serious voice in her heart completely disappeared, leaving only the seductive voice and a smile on her face.

If someone who knew her was here, they would probably be scared because Ming Deng never smiles!

"Hey, I got it."

Mingdeng raised his middle finger towards the sky.

"Fuck the God of Light!"

She would never again foolishly follow the Archbishop's instructions and do those shameful and dirty jobs!

She is now bohemian and loves freedom!

“We must let other sisters come in and experience it!”

At the same time, Hader and the others who were posing for photos shuddered violently.

"What happened? It suddenly got cold?"

Hader muttered to himself strangely and continued to tighten the chain in his hand that was cast with invisibility.

This chain bound a monster, which was currently being purified by Lika's divine power.

Hader's original intention was to create a scene where the monster voluntarily knelt before this man to be purified.

However, Lika, who looked like a skinny monkey, stood in front of the monster and tremblingly released the holy light. This scene was not right at all, as it seemed that he was too scared.

He had previously shown no reaction to the outside world, but as he spent more time in the darkness, he became more and more frightened, and now trembles at the slightest noise.

As a last resort, Hader could only shoot his back and fix some wounds on Lika's calves to make his tremors appear to be caused by injuries.

Yes, in addition to the photo stone at the Invisibility Master's place, Had also has one, just in case. Both of them were filming, and Had was even editing on the go.

"Should we consider leaving?"

Albud asked in a deep voice, with unspeakable disappointment in his eyes.

With a mysterious master in charge, they will definitely not be able to do anything this time, not even the Shadow Brotherhood can do it. He is also gradually feeling the pressure, so it is better for him to leave as soon as possible.

Disappointed, so disappointed, Sean didn't bring me any surprises this time, alas.

How long have they been in here? The priest in charge of timekeeping just went violent. Anyone who dared to approach him would be scolded. There was no way to know the time.

In addition to the priests and nuns who were tortured at the beginning, three more people could not withstand the pressure as the time they were in darkness prolonged. Now these five problem children are all under the care of Albud.

"The money I earn in the church in my entire life is not as much as what people in the royal city earn in a month. What's the point of living in this life?"

"Waste! All of you are waste! If you want money, just go and rob it. The streets of the royal city are full of money!"

"You want to rob me? Steal my money? Don't come over here, I warn you not to come over here!"

One was [tyrannical], one was [desperate], and one was [paranoid]. The three of them started to perform "crosstalk" right under Albud's nose.

".Why."

He sighed deeply and looked around at the air, trying to understand why the master of invisibility suddenly became silent again, why he didn't even cast a spell to relieve his mental stress, as if he had become a photographer wholeheartedly.

But the other party still did something practical. Every time a powerful monster appeared, she would take action.

Although he always takes action when everyone is in a mess.

It was almost as if they were deliberately embarrassing them.

At this moment, the monster being purified suddenly moved, and Lika was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly until he fell to the ground.

Hader walked over and scolded him loudly, then forcibly pulled him up to reshoot. After a long time of effort, he finally managed to shoot a clip that was somewhat acceptable.

He couldn't understand. Everything went smoothly the previous times the church came in, so why were there so many accidents this time?

If this footage were to be released, it would probably cause a big event.

"I worked so hard for half a day and this is all I got, bastard!"

Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, waved to the exhausted people, and said, "Okay, let's go, it's time to get out. I don't want to stay in this crappy place for another minute!"

Upon hearing the order to go off duty, the other people who were still conscious felt relieved and hurried back.

Although they didn't know how to get out, they knew the way back!

"I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to commit suicide and get out, okay? Is that okay?" The person who said this was showing signs of emotional collapse.

Looking back, he saw that Had was actually considering this proposal seriously. He opened his mouth and was about to speak, but the next second, a strange and terrifying aura suddenly appeared beside him!

By the time people became aware of it, they were already surrounded by invisible flesh and blood. People who were already mentally fragile almost had cardiac arrest when they suddenly saw this thing.

There is no need for the assistance of brain-sucking monsters. People who are [frightened] will automatically feel pressure.

They were already at the end of their strength, and the appearance of invisible flesh and blood directly caused the last limit of people's sanity to explode.

[Lika's faith is being tested]

【fear】!

[Harder's faith is being tested]

【tyrannical】!

【Albud.】

"Don't come over here, I don't believe in the Holy Light anymore, let me go home, let me go home!" Lika cried and shouted.

"You dare to betray the Holy Light? All apostates must be executed!" Hader grabbed Lika and slapped him several times with a ferocious face.

The others were all crazy in their own way. Someone was annoyed by Lika's crying and shouting, so he rushed over to punch and kick him, and accidentally hit Had, and the two immediately started fighting again.

Lika ran over and huddled together with several other people who were trapped in fear and despair for warmth, shivering together. Even though some people wanted to fight the monsters, they gave up the fight when they saw their teammates in such a state.

Albud's expression was painful. Under the test of pressure, he didn't want to give up easily. The figures of his family appeared in his mind. The next second -

【Fearless】!

It is virtue that he has stood the test!

His eyes suddenly lit up, as if he was a fearless god of war. He rushed forward to separate the people fighting, picked up his teammates who were slacking off, and in the blink of an eye, he managed to put the team together and launched an attack on the invisible flesh and blood!

Although he did not believe in the Holy Light in his heart, at this moment he seemed to have transformed into the most determined warrior of the Holy Light, leading the team to charge forward!

At least that's what it shows in the picture of the photo stone.

He launched a charge towards the twisted monster, fighting alongside his teammates until they were all devoured by the monster.

The moment before he was swallowed, he was still waving his weapon and shouting to attack.

After an unknown amount of time, Albud woke up.

“A strange ceiling.”

He was lying in a strange house. Just by feeling the abundant magic and damp smell in the environment, he knew that this was Lake Lienia.

"You finally woke up. I thought you were going to be carried back like a dead pig."

A mocking voice came from the side. It was indeed Hader.

After changing his clothes, this guy suddenly looked handsome again. He no longer looked as flustered as he did in the dark area.

"What time is it and why are we still in the dungeon?" Albud asked with a frown.

"We are in Lienia of the Lake, it's the second day now, and we are about to go out."

Hader said nonchalantly: "This time we have to thank the expert for his help."

"help?"

"Yes, they saw that we didn't complete the mission well and were worried that we would be blamed by the bishop, so they took the photo stone and went out to report on their mission."

"And they left us some money so that we can relax here. It's a pity that you didn't enjoy it."

"You mean, she took both photo stones away?"

Albud vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Hader curled his lips and said, "I hate your expression that makes you think you can notice things that others can't. Put away that expression. We are no worse than each other. Let's go back to the church."

"But."

"Don't worry, everything is under my control. If anything goes wrong, I will take responsibility!"

The two men walked out of the house and the other people had gathered. Everyone did not mention what happened in the dark area yesterday.

Although the torture and pressure are gone, their memories still exist.

Walking on the way to the teleportation bonfire, Albud frowned. He always felt that something was wrong. For example, why did the master go to the trouble to help them?

At this moment, he felt the prying eyes around him and turned his head abruptly -

It wasn't someone with bad intentions who was spying on him, but just an unrelated passerby.

But the expressions of passers-by were a little strange.

Some people pointed at the church group and covered their mouths with their hands while laughing.

Some people had complicated expressions, shook their heads and sighed, and were very disappointed.

Someone looked angry and wanted to step forward to question but was stopped by his companions.

Not only Albud, but Had was also confused. What was going on? Their operations were carried out in secret. Why were these people looking at them?

"What are you looking at!" He glared at the passers-by and was about to touch the bonfire.

But at this moment, the bonfire flickered and a figure emerged. It was a church staff member with a panicked look on his face.

As soon as he saw Harder, he didn't care that he was panting and shouted:

"Captain Hard, you've got into big trouble this time!"
