Twilight Speaker

Chapter 98 The Son of God on the Cross
"Now, I have no reason to enter the Outer Third Ring Road!" Dean Colossus said angrily, "You broke your promise!"

The orphanage director smiled and waved his hand:

"Old friend, be patient. Who said you have no reasons? I admit that something unexpected has happened. The container is out of control and now it has attracted the attention of the gods. But isn't this your best chance?"

As he spoke, he shook the red wine glass and drank it all:

"As far as I know, bishop-level figures from all the major Outer God churches have arrived or are about to arrive in the Outer Third Ring. This is a struggle and will also be a war."

"And you, my friend, you want to peel off part of reality to form your own [Divine Domain of War] and become a false god. Now, the struggle of at least nine false gods will be the best ceremony for your godhood."

Dean Colossus's expression eased a little:
"With the Great City and the restrictions above, I can't enter the outer third ring at all. If I force my way in, I will be..."

Before he could finish his words, the orphanage director raised his hand and interrupted:

"My friend, you are still too old-fashioned and your thinking is rigid. The Great City is busy with its own affairs, so how can it care about you? We in the Void Church and even the Deep Void will help you become a god, but there is a condition."

"Please speak." Dean Colossus's expression softened a little.

The orphanage director looked at the rising sun outside the window and said with a smile:
"When you become a god, the descent of gods should have just ended. That is when the fight really begins. As a false god, you will not be weaker than the bishops who are coming. The Deep Void needs your help."

Dean Colossus frowned:

"Then in the eyes of the Great City, I am a defector!"

"Become a god, and then join our Void Spirit Church, or even join the Deep Void, or continue to be the dean of one of the four colleges in the Great City. You need to apply to enter the third ring. You can choose the dean yourself."

Hearing this, Dean Colossus was silent for a moment, then said solemnly:

"I understand."

"If I really take that step, I will help."

"Very good! A wise choice!"

The orphanage director stood up:
"According to the time, the container should have arrived at Saint-Lo Square. Let's go, my friend. The moment of God's descent is five minutes before midnight tonight."

………………

"look."

An investigator who was dragging Chen Xiang said with a smile:
"Many of the unruly people in the outer third ring are looking at us. Oh, they are looking at our Son of God."

He pulled the chain engraved with secret patterns, which completely sealed Chen Xiang's body. He said happily:

"Son of God, the cultists today are still only using the same old tricks. There is nothing new at all."

"Talk less," another senior investigator reminded. "Just do your job well."

As he said this, he smiled apologetically at Chen Xiang.

The last time Chen Xiang entered the Secret Investigation Department, this senior investigator happened to be at the scene and knew that the arrested cultist seemed to have some relationship with Deputy Director Wu.
Who knows what will happen in the end?

It is better not to offend if you can avoid it.

The young investigator curled his lips:

"Captain, I just grumbled a few words, it's not a big deal. I have to drag this guy across the entire outer third ring road early in the morning. I really..."

"That's enough! Shut up!" the old investigator scolded.

Chen Xiang was dragged by them, his eyes slightly closed, his body covered with dust, and he looked a little embarrassed.
He turned a deaf ear to all external affairs and just waited.

Success or failure depends on today.

The investigators were all martial artists at the second level of secret martial arts or even extraordinary people at the third level. They all quickened their pace. Although they were walking, they created a strong wind, and the chains rubbed against the ground, leaving long traces.

They soon crossed the Seventh Ring Road Bridge, reached the Eighth Ring Road, and gradually approached the Ninth Ring Road.
The newly rebuilt bridge between the Ninth Ring Road and the Eighth Ring Road is already in sight.

‘Buzz! ! ’

Suddenly, engines roared everywhere. The investigators looked around and saw cars coming from all directions.

I saw one "mob" after another, holding rifles and even carrying rocket launchers, walking out of the alleys between the buildings!
"What do you want to do?!" The young investigator was not afraid at all and shouted, "The Secret Investigation Department is doing this, anyone who is not here should leave immediately. Otherwise, it will be considered as obstruction and will be shot on the spot!"

He shook his own muscles and bones, making thunderous sounds like tigers and leopards, and his scolding exploded throughout the entire long street!

But cars continued to arrive, and civilians dressed in pure white ceremonial clothes and holding hot weapons approached silently.

They were surrounded.

The outer three rings are peaceful now, but before order comes, every one of them can be a thug.

They all know and remember who provided this peace and order.

Whether it is because of faith or to maintain the hard-won order,
More and more people rushed over, the encirclement became larger and larger, and thousands of rifles and dozens of rocket launchers were aimed at this team of investigators!

The expressions of several investigators changed.
The martial artist in the second level of secret martial arts can ignore light weapons, but cannot resist rocket launchers!
If a conflict really breaks out, none of them will survive except for the captain who stands in the extraordinary field!

"Everyone!"

Sweat broke out on the captain's forehead. Anyone who was pointed at by thousands of guns would feel very stressed.

He said loudly:

"We are just following orders. Everyone, please stay calm!"

No one spoke, and thousands of civilians just held their weapons in silence.

The crowd is still growing.

The atmosphere had already dropped to freezing point. A roar was heard not far away. The captain glanced sideways and his eyelids twitched wildly.

Damn, it's a tank?! Where did these unruly people get it from??!

Oh, by the way, the Nine Rings Administration has long been gone.
Two very old, somewhat rusty tanks rolled over, turned their gun barrels, and silently aimed at the investigators.

The people are silent, waiting, awaiting his will.

Chen Xiang raised his head.

He said softly:

"The establishment of order is never smooth sailing. There will be disasters. I have foreseen everything and stopped the White Knights. When I am not here, the White Knights will maintain order."

Someone shouted:

"Son of God, just one word from you and we will rebel! Invade the Great City!"

"Attack the Great City!" many people shouted in unison.

The investigators listened to this ridiculous, overconfident cry, but they didn't laugh. Instead, they sweated more.
They looked at each other, and saw the fear on each other's faces. Wasn't it said that this Order Cult had only been established for eight days? ?

Crazy, all crazy!

Chen Xiang pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled softly:
"In Donghong Country there is a word called Nirvana. I am experiencing fire and suffering at this moment, but the suffering will soon be over."

"Today, they will crucify me."

"Tomorrow, I will step down from the cross."

“At that time, the Holy Religion will be more glorious than ever before.”

The people listened quietly.

Chen Xiang finally said:

“So, put down your swords and guns, go home, and wait for the dawn of tomorrow, which is the real dawn.”

After a brief silence, the people silently put down their rifles, and the crowd stood on both sides, making way for the Ninth Ring Road.

"We wait for the dawn!" someone shouted.

"It's coming." Chen Xiang responded.

The investigators were sweating profusely. Under the watchful eyes of thousands of people, they did not dare to continue dragging Chen Xiang. Instead, they lifted him up and carried him through the dense crowds on both sides and through the gazes that were as sharp as swords and axes.

They walked extremely fast.

The young investigator didn't dare to say anything for the rest of the journey. He just kept wiping his sweat.
The captain was still terrified, because wherever he passed, wherever he went, there were countless people standing on the long streets and tall buildings on both sides, and countless eyes were staring at him.
Unprecedented pressure.

Even when facing evil and weirdness, there is unprecedented pressure.

The history professor who lived in the Ninth Ring Road silently recorded everything. He followed the crowd and the investigators all the way to St. Luo Square.

In the middle of the Piazza San Loma stands a cross made of cast bronze, but the cross is stuck upside down on the ground, engraved with incomprehensible ancient texts and accompanied by a little rust.

When the Son of God was hung upside down on the cross and the nails were driven into his palms, countless people surrounding the square clenched their fists.
The thirty-six pure white knights who had arrived at some point in time raised their spears, swords and shields, as if they were ready to charge at any time!
"We are waiting for your order!" Li Rongen hissed with his eyes wide open.

On the inverted cross, the young man hanging upside down with his eyes closed:
"Wait for the dawn, when the first ray of sunrise breaks tomorrow."

The pure white knights hit their armor with their fists, making a dull sound!

"As you wish!"

The history professor's lips trembled slightly. He took out a pen and paper and wrote down all this with trembling hands.

【The eighth day after the coming of the Son of God.】

[The heretics nailed Him to an inverted cross, the people were outraged, and the pure white knight raised his spear and shield. ]

[He said, I am going through fire, this is tribulation, and it is also the last dark night before dawn. ]

[He said, On the ninth day, I will come down from the cross.]

[He said, and when He walked down, the dawn would also come, at the moment when the sun broke on the ninth day.]

【The people believed firmly and worshiped around Him, while the heretics fled in fear.】

【This is the eighth day, the day of darkness.】

The history professor put down his pen and paper, and along with tens of thousands of people around the square, he fell to the ground devoutly, worshiping the hanged man on the inverted cross.

They accompanied, they waited together, the investigators fled, not daring to stop for a moment.

And on the huge bronze cross in the center of the square.

Chen Xiang opened his eyes while hanging upside down, and clearly felt the faith, which was ten or a hundred times more powerful than before!

There are fewer and fewer casual believers, and more and more devout believers.

Two iron nails and four chains suppressed all his strength, but they could not suppress the endless and explosively growing faith!
Chen Xiang silently felt this mysterious power. This bit of faith seemed to have an inseparable and close connection with the heaven, the earth, and the universe.

Faith comes from reality.

I don't know when the sky darkened, dark clouds piled up one after another, and the rain fell.

"go back."

People heard the Son of God on the cross rebuke them, and then the rain began to flow backwards and the clouds dispersed.
