"No, I don't dare..."
Hearing the guard's words, the man turned pale with fright and knelt on the ground in panic.
"I dare not question God's judgment. I will leave immediately."
"Walk!"
The guard said coldly and looked at the people behind him.
"Keep going!"
The man got up and looked into the city gate, with a mixture of expectation, disappointment and regret in his eyes.
The holy city is right before our eyes, yet we cannot enter.
Soon, another person was stopped, and his stone also did not glow.
thump.
The man knelt on the ground and begged, "Please let me in. My daughter is sick. I came all the way here just to ask the God of Light to bless her..."
"Without enough faith, how can one enter the Holy City?"
The guard remained expressionless and unmoved.
They have seen many people like this.
"I believe in the God of Light, otherwise I wouldn't have come all the way here... This is my last hope. Please, let me in."
The man burst into tears.
Xiao Chen looked at this man and felt a little sympathy for him.
Although he did not have a good impression of the God of Light and the Holy See of Light, ordinary believers... had no grudge against him.
These people regard the God of Light as their faith and spiritual sustenance.
Especially when encountering problems, it is easier to hold on if you have a spiritual support...Faith is like the last straw, without it, you will collapse.
This man obviously regarded the Holy City and the God of Light as his last straw.
He could feel the man's despair, having finally gotten here but unable to get in.
Although...it's useless once you get in.
"Alas, I can be cruel and ruthless, but I cannot bear to see the suffering of ordinary people."
Xiao Chen shook his head, feeling a little strange. Logically speaking, this person's faith value should be enough.
Since they regard the God of Light as the last straw, they must believe in him very much, so why can't they get in?
"The judgment of the gods will not be wrong. If you really believe in the God of Light, how could you not be able to enter?"
The guard looked at the man kneeling on the ground, unmoved.
"Don't stand in the way, leave now.
"Please, let me in. I want to beg the God of Light..."
The man begged even louder.
"Rules are rules. No one can break the rules. Leave now, or we will not be polite."
The guard's voice became even colder.
"It's useless for you to stay here. If you make the gods unhappy, they will punish you..."
"No, no, I'll leave right away, right away..."
Hearing this, the man trembled. He came here to ask God to bless his daughter.
If the gods are displeased, it's fine to blame them, but what if the punishment falls on my daughter?
He got up from the ground, wiped his tears, and made way.
However, he did not leave, but leaned against the city wall, his face full of despair and tears.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen wanted to step forward, but then he thought of something and suppressed the idea.
He pulled out his phone, sent a message to Obisco, and headed inside.
Obisco looked at the message on his phone, was stunned for a moment, and looked up at the man on the city wall.
"Know him? Impossible... Could it be that the ruthless Xiao Chen would have sympathy? How is that possible?"
Obisco was very surprised, but he still had to do what Xiao Chen asked him to do.
He thought about it and walked towards the man at the foot of the city wall.
"You want to go in and ask the God of Light to bless your daughter?"
Obisco asked, looking at the man.
"Yes, you are?"
The man looked at Obisco, wiping away his tears, a little confused.
"I live in the city, and I felt sorry for you, so I wanted to help you."
Obisco said casually.
"Really? You can let me in?"
The man's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly.
"cannot."
Obisco shook his head.
"Rules are rules, and no one can break them... But I can tell you that there is no difference between praying to the God of Light outside the city and praying to the God of Light in the City of Light."
Hearing this, the man was disappointed again: "How can there be no difference? This is a holy city..."
Obisco shook his head again, you foolish man, how could the God of Light save your daughter... Soon, the God of Light will be in big trouble.
"In a few days, the God of Light will descend, and he may come to the outer city at that time... So, you can find a place to stay in the outer city first, and maybe you will have a chance."
Obisco said slowly.
"real?"
The man regained hope.
"Will the God of Light really leave the city?"
"The great and merciful God of Light is everywhere..."
Obisco said seriously.
"Yes, yes, the great and merciful God of Light is everywhere..."
The man said hurriedly.
"Lord Obisco..."
The guard from before had already spotted Obisco and came over quickly, greeting him respectfully.
Hearing the guard's address, the man realized that this man with extraordinary temperament in front of him must be an important person.
"Go do your job."
Obisco said calmly.
"yes."
The guard responded quickly and retreated.
"Listen to me, go stay in the outer city first...Give me your cell phone number, and I will definitely help you if I can."
Obisco said again.
"Yes, yes, thank you, sir."
The man knelt on the ground and thanked him.
"Nothing, just met."
Obisco shook his head.
"God of Light, have mercy on the world. Your daughter will be fine."
"Thank you, thank you God of Light..."
The man said hurriedly.
Not far away, Xiao Chen, who was still queuing, looked over here and smiled.
He was quite satisfied with Obisco's approach.
He knew very well that since this man had come, he would definitely not give up easily.
It is basically impossible to persuade them to leave.
This last straw must be grasped at all costs.
And it was not appropriate for him to help the man at this moment. The best way was to wait until he got out and then help him.
Soon, several more people were stopped... As long as the stone was not lit, the guards would not let them in.
Finally, it was Xiao Chen’s turn.
"The God of Light is the most awesome, the God of Light is the greatest, the God of Light is the most powerful being in the world..."
Xiao Chen talked to himself in his heart, constantly "brainwashing" himself, and at the same time... he practiced the Chaos Art, his upper Dantian trembled slightly, and the power of his soul fluctuated.
He also released his spiritual sense to cover the stone, so that he could react immediately to any changes.
Obisco, who was not far away, also held his breath and felt a little nervous.
Xiao Chen, can I come in?
Just as the thought flashed through his mind, the stone lit up.
"call……"
Obisco breathed a sigh of relief but was also surprised. How did he do it?
"The great God of Light..."
Xiao Chen walked in with a smile on his face.
"My father-in-law is right. There is indeed a loophole..."
Xiao Chen walked through the city gate, and the ancient city appeared in his sight.
Here, there are no tall buildings and no traffic, giving people a feeling of traveling through time... all of a sudden, they are back in the past.
The atmosphere here is also different from the outside world.
Most of the pedestrians had happy smiles on their faces, and anyone who was there would inevitably be infected by this happy atmosphere.
There were also quite a few people who held the "Light Sutra" in their hands and chanted something, reciting the contents of the "Light Sutra".
“…”
Xiao Chen looked at all this and felt it was unreal.
Is this the holy city, is this the pure land?
No wonder Obisco said that this place and outside the city are two different worlds.
"Everything is an illusion..."
Xiao Chen shook his head. He had just seen with his own eyes that many people were stopped and had difficulty entering.
Even if they begged and cried, the guards would not let them in.
"Beyond heaven is hell..."
Xiao Chen muttered to himself, looking back at the tall city gate with a mocking smile.
One city gate, two worlds, how ironic!
"Why did you help that guy?"
A voice sounded from beside Xiao Chen.
“Just do one good deed a day.”
Xiao Chen looked at Obisco and said casually.
“…”
Obisco was stunned. He really felt sympathy?
He felt it was very unreal; this was completely different from the Xiao Chen he knew.
It's just as unreal as the God of Light suddenly appearing in front of that man and saying, "I will save your daughter."
"No other purpose?"
Obisco asked again.
"Purpose? What do you think he can do for me?"
Xiao Chen was puzzled.
"Don't think too much. We just happened to meet and I just happened to feel pity for him... It's just his luck."
"oh."
Obisco nodded and thought no more.
"What are you going to do next?"
“There are no cameras in this city?”
Xiao Chen looked around and asked.
"No, there is only a test of faith, no cameras."
Obisco shook his head.
"In addition, there is a law enforcement team. Once the detection alarm is triggered, the law enforcement team will arrive in the shortest possible time... As for the cameras, the gods are omnipresent and omniscient, so there is no need for cameras."
"Haha, awesome."
Xiao Chen smiled playfully.
"Then I'll just stroll around and you can go do your thing."
"I'm fine."
Obisco wanted to follow Xiao Chen to prevent this guy from causing trouble.
Although he was following, he couldn't do anything Xiao Chen wanted to do, but he was watching him with his own eyes, so at least he had some peace of mind.
"How can there be nothing to do? Aren't you going to think about the list? I'll let you know when I leave and give me the list then."
Xiao Chen said.
"Don't worry, I came here just to see the Holy City. I won't cause any trouble."
"Sure?"
Obisco still had some doubts.
"If I lied to you, I would be a dog... I'm all alone, what can I do? Don't follow me, you're an important person, and being with me might attract some attention."
Xiao Chen looked at Obisco.
"You don't want this to affect your status as Pope, do you?"
"Okay, then when you leave, let me know and I'll take you there."
Obisco nodded.
"Well, it won't be too long, just a few hours. I have things to do when I get back."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, he randomly chose a direction and started walking.
Obisco looked at Xiao Chen's back, then raised his head to look at the "Sacred Mountain" in the distance, took a deep breath, and stopped himself from thinking too much.
"I hope he's just here for a stroll..."
Obisco muttered to himself and also turned away.
