Chapter 88 No more bullets?
Imagination is beautiful.
Reality is naturally cruel.
A bishop walked around the base of the holographic statue and walked to the shrine that controls the rise and fall of the cathedral. He recited a series of vague "spells" to try to make the four metal walls that sank into the ground rise again.
But...
there was no response.
Just like the base of the holographic statue did not respond, the four metal walls that sank into the ground of the cathedral did not respond either.
The bishop felt a chill on his back and a bad idea emerged in his mind.
He shook his metal head and whispered: "Lord, please respond to your devout believers as soon as possible..."
Then, the bishop tried to recite the spell again. The fact
that the walls of the cathedral had not risen for a long time made the other bishops realize the problem.
They all stepped forward and rushed to the shrine to join this alternative prayer.
Once, twice...
As time went by, the hearts of several bishops sank like stones falling into the sea.
"Why is this happening?"
"Is the power of the Lord really eroded by pagans?"
Silence.
No one could answer the bishop's words, and no one dared to answer such a question.
"Where is the archbishop? Why haven't the archbishop and the pope spoken yet?"
No one answered this question.
"Damn pagans!"
Seeing that no one responded to him, the bishop turned around, tore off his gorgeous bishop's robe, and rushed towards the crowd that was about to squeeze into the cathedral!
The mechanical body, which was more than two meters high, was like a no-man's land in the crowd. He just waved his mechanical arm and knocked out several believers who tried to stop him.
The collision between the flesh and the machine naturally won the final victory.
These believers were like broken sacks that were thrown away. When they landed, their bodies collided with the ground and made a dull sound.
The weird and creepy body bending angle also indicated that these unfortunate believers had already died.
The bishop's goal was very clear, that was Xu Huai, who was standing in the crowd with a faint sacred expression!
As long as the bewitching pagan was solved, the remaining believers... were just a mob!
The scarlet-glowing mechanical eye stared straight at Xu Huai.
Seeing Xu Huai raise his arm and point the gun at him, the bishop quickly squatted down and, relying on the powerful power of his mechanical legs, quickly made a dodging move.
But...
Bang! Bang! Bang!!!
The dull, distinctive roar sounded again.
Unlike before, this time, it was a continuous roar!
...
Needless to say, the difficulty of shooting at a moving target is naturally much higher than that of a fixed target.
Although Xu Huai received some training with the help of Chen Fan,
it is still difficult for a newcomer who has just learned to shoot for less than a week to perfectly hit a high-speed moving target.
The streamlined bullets of the electromagnetic pistol bombarded the solid concrete floor, and a piece of debris exploded immediately.
Five bullets left three head-sized holes on the concrete floor.
As for the landing points of the other two bullets...
one was on the bishop's mechanical leg, and the other was on the bishop's abdomen.
Flashing arcs gushed out from the bullet holes, and crackling sounds continued to be heard.
On the surface of his body, some tiny signal lights were flashing continuously.
Unfortunately,
apart from the flashing arcs, not a single drop of blood flowed out of it, which meant that neither of the two bullets was fatal.
As one of the mechanical legs was damaged, the bishop's steps also became slow.
He stared straight at the electromagnetic pistol in Xu Huai's hand, and the mechanical prosthesis on his face moved, revealing a stiff and cruel smile: "Why don't you continue shooting?"
"Are you out of bullets?"
He said, dragging his staggering steps towards Xu Huai: "Although I don't know where you got the weapons of those pagans, but..."
Before the bishop finished speaking, Xu Huai skillfully removed the magazine, took out another magazine filled with bullets from his pocket and loaded it into the electromagnetic pistol.
The expression on the bishop's face froze: "..."
Xu Huai pulled the corner of her mouth and whispered: "As you wish."
After speaking, she pulled the trigger again.
Xu Huai glanced expressionlessly at the mechanical body that fell heavily to the ground, and the light pink liquid mixed with blood gushing out of the bullet hole, and then cast his eyes again at the cathedral in the distance.
Seeing Xu Huai's skillful reloading action, the bishops in the cathedral suddenly felt numb.
"..."
"Damn it, how many bullets does this pagan have!!!"
"Where are the guards? Let the guards of the Wall of Sighs enter the city!"
"...We don't have the power to command those guards. Only the Pope can give orders to them."
"Lord...Have you really given up on us?"
For a moment, the main hall of the cathedral suddenly became chaotic.
...
North Church.
After getting the Pope's permission, the archbishop stood up from the specially made large metal chair and walked towards the door of the North Church along the way he came.
Bang! Bang! Bang! !
As he kept approaching the church door, the dull roar not only did not stop, but even became louder.
Not only that, relying on the mechanical ears, he even vaguely heard the noisy shouts and shrill screams.
The archbishop's heart trembled and he quickly quickened his pace.
Dongdongdong!
The slender and strong mechanical prosthesis stepped on the metal corridor of the North Church, making a quick and dull footsteps.
The archbishop walked around the huge server array and stood in front of the church gate.
Without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand and pulled open the heavy metal door.
The five guides who were supposed to stay in front of the North Church had disappeared, but the archbishop didn't care about this little thing - the East Church not far away was in chaos.
Shouts, howls, and curses came one after another.
The strong smell of blood even drifted to the door of the North Church!
What happened?
Why are the facts different from the surveillance footage?
The God's Chosen Ceremony...shouldn't it have ended successfully?
And...
why didn't the Pope notice the abnormal situation outside?
"Harold."
A stiff electronic synthesized voice came from behind: "It seems that everything is normal."
"Ten God's Chosen have been selected, and the God's Chosen Ceremony has ended."
"It's just...why can't I find the source of those dull explosions?"
Listening to the Pope's murmurs behind him, the archbishop suddenly felt a piercing chill rising up his mechanical spine.
"Your Holiness..."
"Something happened in Varela City..."
"...What?"
The Archbishop, who witnessed Xu Huai shooting and killing a bishop with the help of a mechanical eye, said in a trembling voice: "The believers have attacked the East Church."
The Pope: "..."
