Villain: Glory bows to me

Soon a childish voice responded to Catherine, the hinged window was opened, and a little head poked out from inside.

It was a little girl who was a bit more delicate than a doll, with curly blond hair dotting her immature face.

Catherine seemed to see herself as a child, and the maternal nature of a woman filled her heart instantly.

"Sister, are you looking for my parents? Sorry, they are out."

The innocent look on the little girl's face put Catherine in trouble, and coupled with the absence of the adults at home, Catherine really gave up hope.

But she still asked her doubts.

"Um...little girl, I just want to ask, do you know the hunting captain?"

"Hunting Captain? I heard Dad say that Dad's mission was given by the Hunting Captain.

Dad said that the hunting captain would be patrolling near the bridge leading to the parish, and by the way... there was a chapel over there, maybe he would rest there? "

The little girl told everything she knew and handed Catherine a marked map.

This made Catherine very happy. She took the map, solemnly thanked the little girl and prepared to leave.

But the little girl stopped her in a hurry.

"Sister, wait a minute!

Can u help me? Mom went out to find dad, but she forgot to bring something.

Every time Dad forgets us, Mom will open this music box, which contains Dad's favorite music.

Mom is too careless. If she didn't have this thing, I'm afraid she would be in danger. "

The little girl took out an exquisite walnut music box. Catherine quickly took it and asked the little girl.

"Little sister, what are your parents' characteristics? I don't know them, so it might be hard to find them."

Catherine was determined to help this sweet little girl, so she needed more detailed information.

"Well...Dad wears a big black trench coat and often wears a top hat on his head.

Mom's words... She seemed to be wearing a rose-red dress when she went out, and there was a necklace with shining gems around her neck! "

It took the little girl a long time to piece together these words, but it was enough.

Catherine immediately realized that the little girl's father seemed to be the uncle who had just saved her.

Then I should help the little girl.

"Don't worry, little sister, I'll go find them now. You stay at home and wait for my good news!"

Catherine said goodbye to the little girl and left quickly. When she passed the door of the little girl's house, she saw a beggar squatting in a dark corner.

The beggar was crazy, talking vaguely, and his tone was weird, as if he was imitating the tone of a little girl.

"Dear sister, you are too cold..."

Catherine thought the guy was crazy, so she ignored her and followed the map to find the way to the church the little girl mentioned.

Catherine also opened the music box on the way. Due to its age, the words inside the music box were blurred.

But it can still be seen that there are two people's names written inside - Claude & Jessica.

They must be the names of the little girl's parents.

Catherine returned to the sewers again, because according to the map given by the little girl, you had to go through the sewers to get to the chapel.

The original road seems to have been artificially destroyed.

Catherine had no choice but to endure the disgusting stench and walk through the sewers.

Fortunately, with the guidance of the map, Catherine quickly found the right way.

However, Catherine always felt like something was following her along the way, and she could hear faint guttural sounds from time to time.

However, she did not see the source of the sound appear, so Catherine didn't take it too seriously and regarded it as an illusion caused by being too tired.

Following the map's guidance through the smelly sewers, Catherine entered a very secluded small study.

There were many notebooks here, and one of them caught Catherine's attention.

The book is called "Chronicle of the Plague in Huiyuan Country".

This was placed here intentionally by Vito, and it can also be regarded as the background setting made by Vito for this dream world.

Catherine opened the book and began to read its contents carefully.

The book mentions that three unprecedented major plagues have occurred in Huiyuan Country so far.

The first great plague destroyed the royal capital and the holy capital, the royal family fell, and the Light Sect also disappeared.

From that time on, Huiyuan Kingdom fell into terrible chaos. The Holy Cross Church emerged out of thin air and brought the people of Huiyuan Kingdom together to fight against the plague.

Due to the loss of memory, Catherine has no impression of the Light Cult and the royal family, so she can't think of anything.

The second great plague caused most of the Huiyuan Kingdom to fall. The Holy Cross Church was unable to control the plague, so it set fire to most of the occupied areas.

From then on, the surviving people of Huiyuan Kingdom gathered and lived in the area designated by the Holy Cross Church.

That's where Catherine is now.

During this period, the Holy Cross Church developed a new drug that helped most people get rid of the plague.

Everything seems to be getting better.

But what was unexpected was that the third great plague occurred, which destroyed everything.

……

To be honest, Vito was also shocked when he saw that there was a third great plague.

Because in his own mind, there were only two major plagues in the dream world, and that was enough.

Vito had never thought about the so-called third great plague, which made him feel very strange.

After thinking about it, Amigodala is an artificial human and he cannot express himself freely, so it can only be Kaos's handiwork.

Vito was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Kaos was also intervening in the dream world.

However, Vito had no intention of stopping him. He wanted to see what medicine was being sold in Kaos' gourd.

……

Catherine read the records. When the third great plague suddenly occurred, the church also cut off the supply of medicine and blocked the bridge to the parish.

Without the leadership of the church, the people were at a loss and could only rely on their own abilities. At the same time, the Holy Cross Church continued to send executioners to capture the infected and massacre them.

They even started to set fire to the city one after another.

This plunged the people into panic, and riots and chaos broke out.

A note included in the book may best reflect the hearts of these abandoned people.

{The endless long night is approaching, the boundaries between humans and non-humans are gradually blurring, and the streets are full of crazy and bloodthirsty monsters...

The Holy Cross Church plans to abandon us all, just like they set fire to the old Huiyuan Kingdom! ｝

Catherine felt a crushing despair and powerlessness. Although she had lost her memory, she was still very sensitive to being abandoned deep in her heart.

It was like something suddenly grabbed her heart, making it difficult for Catherine to breathe smoothly.

In addition, there is some information in the book that serves as a reminder to Catherine.

For example, the clergy of the Church of Light basically wear red robes, while the robes of the clergy of the Holy Cross Church come in blue and white.

Blue robes represent higher status.

Moreover, the internal structure of the Holy Cross Church is different from that of the Light Church. They implement a three-level clergy system, namely, bishops, pastors and church officials.

At the same time, there is no such title as priest in Holy Cross Church, and the clergy of Holy Cross Church have two responsibilities, treating patients and clergy work.

Catherine moved on, but Vito in the real world stopped watching her movements.

Because Vito knew that it would still be some time before the show started, and Vito planned to see what was going on in the cursed dreamland.

However, what surprised Vito was that he was unable to view the cursed dream.

Vito immediately understood that this was definitely Kaos's work again. This guy had probably been eyeing the Curse Dream for a long time.

Because Vito felt that the cursed dream was filled with some kind of original power.

But this power is not like chaos, but some kind of resentment, as long-lasting as a river, and as bottomless and turbulent as the sea.

This left Vito confused for a moment, wondering what happened in the cursed dream.

"Forget it, let's wait until Kaos shows up. It's useless for me to guess here."

Vito simply turned his attention to Catherine again, looking at the despair she was about to experience.

-----------------

The Light Religion corresponds to the Roman Catholic Church in reality, which is what we often call the Catholic Church.

The red coat is the attire worn by high-ranking clergy in the Roman Catholic Church, who are called "cardinals". Because they wear red robes, they are commonly known as "red archbishops".

The Holy Cross Church in the dream world corresponds to the Anglican Church, which is the Anglican Church, one of the Protestant denominations, and a product of the European Reformation.

The biggest difference between Protestantism and the Catholic Church is that Protestantism does not recognize the dominance of the Pope (the pope), the supreme leader of the Catholic Church.

As for why the Anglican Church was chosen, it actually has something to do with the plague in the dream world.

{While passing the land auction market in Rousepol, suddenly, a vertical hinged window suddenly opened just above my head, and then a woman let out three frightening howls: "Oh, death, death , Death!" This suddenly made me panic, and even my blood froze. The whole street was deserted, and no other windows were open, for people had no curiosity now, and no one would help one another, so I ignored the mad woman and walked into Bell Alley. ｝

The above text is excerpted from the novel "Chronicles of a Plague Year" by British writer Daniel Defoe.

The story told in it is about the Great Plague that swept across London, England, in 1665, which happened to be the third great plague in British history.

In the following year, a major fire broke out in London, and most of the city was burned down. At the same time, the London government at the time briefly closed the city gates for unknown reasons, isolating all refugees.

During this period, the Anglicans were already the state religion in England. Their clergy chose to hide with the government, giving other sects opportunities.

Some clergy from other denominations preached and taught and rescued refugees in their territory.

Having said so much, I wonder if you understand what I mean?
