Chapter 75 Familiar Taste
"Even if we have to force it, we have to..."
"Bang!"
Wallis's voice was still echoing in the spacious side hall, and a sharp explosion sounded from the ceiling above his head and the surrounding walls.
Almost at the same time, Wallis felt a tingling and burning sensation inside his body.
Then, countless golden sparks flashed in the air, and the side hall fell into darkness, leaving only a few red lights emitted by mechanical prosthetic eyes.
Listening to the exclamations from outside the side hall and around him, Wallis's face darkened.
"What happened?"
Several priests around shook their heads subconsciously, and then they realized that the bishop could not see their movements.
These priests hurriedly said: "Your Excellency the Bishop, we... don't know."
"It sounds like it's not just the side hall, the main hall of the church is also in trouble."
Wallis didn't say anything, but took heavy steps and walked in the dark towards the familiar direction.
Amid a burst of tiny collisions, the closed window of the side hall was pushed open.
The incandescent afternoon sun, wrapped in waves of heat, poured in from the window, drawing sharp swords in the air, easily tearing the darkness in the side hall into pieces.
With the help of the sunlight, Wallis looked up at the lighting facilities installed on the ceiling of the side hall.
When he saw some charred marks he had never seen before, he suddenly felt confused. What
on
earth happened? !
Since he joined the church, he has never encountered such a situation!
"Lord..."
Wallis couldn't help but let out a long sigh with inexplicable meaning.
Several priests on the side also looked at each other, shrinking in the corner of the side hall and not daring to make any sound.
Unconsciously, as a heavy footstep came from far away, the exclamation outside the temple door gradually faded.
Wow!
The heavy metal door of the temple was pushed open with force, and a bloody figure emerged from the darkness.
"… Your Excellency the Archbishop!"
Seeing the newcomer, Wallis retracted his gaze from the ceiling, bent down, and performed a standard etiquette to the tall, blood-red figure.
"Something happened."
The Archbishop's voice was extremely serious: "The entire East Main Church has malfunctioned, and the statue has stopped working."
"The Pope sent me to investigate the situation."
The Archbishop turned his head and glanced around: "Is there anything unusual in the church just now?"
Wallis shook his head blankly: "I have been in the side hall, and I am not very clear about the situation in the church."
"The Chosen One."
A faint voice came from the darkness outside the hall door: "Just now, His Excellency Chen Fan came to the main church."
"Chen Fan?"
Hearing this name, Wallis's face changed, and his heart was immediately alarmed, and his original calm attitude instantly dissipated.
PTSD belongs to it.
"It's him! It must be him!!"
Thinking of the humiliation he had suffered before, Wallis's mechanical prosthesis on his face twitched slightly, and he shouted a little out of control under the gaze of a group of clergy.
Looking at the increasingly chaotic scene in the side hall, the Archbishop couldn't help but let out a dull roar.
"Shut up!"
Before Wallis could react, he stretched out a strong mechanical arm from under his blood-red robe and easily pulled him off the ground: "Wallis, be aware of your identity!"
Looking at the four mechanical eyes flashing dangerous red light under the blood-red hood, Wallis calmed down again.
He felt his heart beating violently in his chest and exhaled a long breath: "Sorry."
"Your Excellency the Archbishop, I lost my temper."
The Archbishop snorted coldly and threw Wallis to the ground in the side hall.
The mechanical prosthesis collided with the metal ground, making a sharp collision sound.
"What is Chen Fan doing in the cathedral?"
The archbishop turned his head to look in the direction of the side hall door and asked in a low voice.
"Well, it seems to be going to... the library?"
Looking at Wallis lying on the ground, the priest outside the door answered tremblingly.
The archbishop took out a device that looked like a torch from his blood-red robe: "Wallis, take it and go to the library to see what our Chosen One is doing."
Hearing this, Wallis, who was thrown on the ground, struggled to get up from the cold ground, took the device from the archbishop with a respectful face, and walked towards the side hall door.
When he was near the temple door, he stopped, then stretched out his hand and pointed at several black-robed priests standing outside the side hall door:
"You guys, come with me."
Looking at the white light in Wallis's hand, the archbishop narrowed his four mechanical eyes slightly.
This accident came too suddenly.
According to the Pope, this situation only occurs occasionally in the first year of the Varela calendar when the natural disaster has not been resolved.
At that time, the natural disaster covered a wide area, and the lines of the entire Varela city would be burned by invisible forces.
But... is this really a natural disaster?
Or...
is it a trick of the Chosen One?
The Archbishop pondered for a moment, turned around and said to the priests and deacons outside the temple who dared not speak: "Start repairing all the facilities of the East Main Church immediately."
"The replacement parts are in the warehouse of the South Main Church."
"You should all know the repair method."
"Be quick, I want to see a normal operating East Main Church before the God's Chosen Ceremony!"
...
"That's the Holy Fire."
Chen Fan looked at the "torch" in Wallis's hand curiously, and Isa's explanation came from the side: "I heard that only the Pope has this thing."
Holy Fire?
Really know how to flatter yourself.
Isn't this thing just a flashlight in the shape of a torch? !
Chen Fan looked at Wallis holding the electronic torch in silence, bent down calmly, and saluted him.
"Bishop, may the Lord be with you."
Then, he showed a little confusion on his face: "Bishop, what is going on?"
"Why did the church become like this?"
Wallis looked at the innocent confused look and preemptive questioning, and felt a thump in his heart.
Fuck.
It was a familiar taste and a familiar feeling.
He still remembered that he stepped into the trap carefully laid by Chen Fan step by step last time! !
"You..."
Wallis swallowed the question on his lips and asked cautiously: "What are you doing in the church?"
"Can't you come?" Chen Fan looked at Wallis with a look of surprise, "When did the church have this rule?"
Wallis didn't say anything, just stared at Chen Fan silently.
"Okay." Seeing that Wallis would not cooperate with him, Chen Fan could only shrug his shoulders and pretended to be helpless and said, "I just want to go to the library to check the classics."
"But now it seems..."
"My idea should be ruined."
"My Lord Bishop, can you take me away from the cathedral?"
Chen Fan said with a faint smile: "I still have to attend the God's Chosen Ceremony tomorrow."
Threat, this is a naked threat!
Wallis gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words from his teeth: "Of course."
ps: Thanks to the leader of [Target Expulsion] for the reward!
