“What’s that?”
-Don’t know. Could it be a new lighting device from the Upper City laboratory?”
-Hey, no kidding, it’s actually quite beautiful.”
The people of the underground city have never seen the moon; no one knows what this implies.
Each one points to the glowing object in the sky.
Leonard Churchill always felt that something was off, with a vague sense that a
major event was about to occur.
However, just while pondering about it for a moment, a flash of illumination crossed his mind and he exclaimed inwardly: “That’s the feeling!
He finally realized what that familiar feeling he had just experienced was.
He had previously seen the symbol “C engraved on the ceiling of a secret room in the Grand Cemetery Labyrinth.
That was exactly how it felt!
Exactly the same!
Suddenly, Leonard Churchill instantly understood and there was a clear direction in his heart: “The moon in the sky… it’s the work of those Ancient God Devotees behind the cellar of Tailor Street!
Just as he spent a moment more on observation, a chilling enlightenment surfaced: ‘You have been exempted from minor belief pollution.
“This… belief pollution!”
Thinking about something, even today’s Leonard Churchill was astonished at this method, “What a large scale operation…”
He squinted at the moon in the sky, his eyes gradually became sharp, murmuring to himself, “These guys from the Old Days Sect are playing big this time… They usually just hide in the dark, but now on their appearance; they directly initiate a moon belief pollution. Are they trying to contaminate the whole Sinless City?”
These guys are playing so blatantly, are they planning something big?
It appears it’s not just the financial conglomerates who are excited, even the Ancient God Devotees are stirring up excitement behind the scenes.
The enlightenment tip was already very clear.
This moon is not just for show.
It is a source of pollution.
The source of belief pollution disaster!
If it were not for the exemption of the belief alteration term by Joker the Trickster, perhaps Leonard Churchill himself would have been affected, yet would have had no awareness of it.
At this moment, he finally understood the significance of this term.
What the hell is pollution, can it be more threatening than believing pollution?
It’s like enslaving people’s spiritual branding; those affected by this will experience cognitive bias.
The more he thought about it, the more hair-raising he felt.
in that instant, Leonard Churchill felt as though he saw a giant hand from the distant past quietly emerge from the grave, obstructing the human view of the heights.
An Old Days God, long buried in historical dust, wished to awaken the instinctive horror hidden in human blood through millions of years and regain control over the dominance of the inferior creatures.
Leonard Churchill felt a chill and murmured, “Belief pollution, it’s going to get lively now…”
Murdering in the name of bloody sacrifices, humans are probably no different than livestock in the eyes of gods. The entrance of the disciples of the ancient god left a very bad impression on him.
Leonard Churchill could already envision humans under the dominion of the
Old Days Gods, trapped in endless perpetual darkness.
It was a state where humans were trapped by gods on an island, and their cognition forever obscured by false beliefs, plunged into a true eternal night. Facing the horrifying domination of the unspeakable ancient god, Leonard Churchill let out a cold snort, his eyes filled with a burning sharpness. The curve of his lips rose higher and higher, almost to an eerie extent.
I knew something was missing…
In Sinless City, this end of the world, this land of exile, if it’s just violence and disorder, the customs would still have been relatively simple.
And with this taking place now,
this flavor suddenly feels just right.
No matter if they are the Acolytes of Ancient Deities, the Old Days Sect, or the servitors of evil gods…
This is the correct way to reveal the dark side of the extraordinary world.
After all, this is a world where gods and demons exist!
Belief pollution, this kind of mystical method is simply impervious.
If there is no way to control it, even high-tier Curse Card Masters may be affected.
This move by the Ancient God Devotees is more threatening than any upheaval the conglomerates could cause.
Leonard Churchill looked at the moon in the sky, his mind racing with thoughts.
The pollution isn’t severe at the moment, but it might not be the same case in the long run.
But, just in that split second, the surroundings went dark.
Looking up, the moon in the sky astonishingly vanished.
Peace has been restored to the night.
The sky is devoid of everything.
As though everything had been an illusion.
“Huh… it stopped?”
Leonard Churchill, realizing something, thought to himself: “Could it be due to insufficient energy?”
Since the Old Days Sect has shown themselves, there was no need for them to hide anymore.
If they had tainted the entire city, they might as well do it thoroughly. But why stop suddenly now?
It should not have been disrupted by an external force.
This is the first time the moon appeared. The Old Days Believers should not have been so naive to be discovered the first time.
Leonard Churchill thought of something else.
He is a steadfast materialist.
He also acknowledges that everything in the universe is based on units of energy, even gods should be describable with some special units of energy. Such a wide range of faith pollution must need a source of energy.
Even magic requires magical power to support it.
“So, what could be the source of energy that this ‘moon’ needs?
Leonard Churchill began to think quickly about this in his mind, in his eyes, this moon was like a light bulb that lights up when it is powered. However, where does the “electricity” come from?
Following this line of thought, a lightbulb suddenly went off in Leonard Churchill’s head.
“Ah…energy? Could it be generated by the sacrificial ceremony?
Leonard Churchill instantly thought of the bloody sacrificial ceremony in the cellar of Tailor Street.
Could it be that the Secret Cause Spirit Medium is actually energy?
Not only that, but he also instantly thought of the layout within the Grand Cemetery Labyrinth.
There were four stone pillars in the secret chamber, on which were carved the ceremony of human sacrifice, followed by the symbol of the moon on the ceiling to which the priest pointed.
Begging for the response of the gods with sacrifices…
The more he thought, the clearer the idea became.
Leonard Churchill’s brain began to operate rapidly at this moment.
Bits of fragmented information about the Old Days Sect began to collide endlessly in his mind.
The secret chamber in the Grand Cemetery, the Four-pillar Moon Arch, the sacrifice on Tailor Street…
Like pieces of a puzzle, an image began to quickly form.
Although the full picture was not yet clear.
But this small piece was already enough for Leonard Churchill to speculate a possibility that was very close to the truth.
He was almost certain that the appearance of the “moon” followed the sacrificial ceremony.
Leonard Churchill’s eyes flickered, and a bolder guess sprang to mind!
“If the position of the moon is determined, could the positions of the ‘four pillars’ also be fixed?”
Although he didn’t understand why the stone pillars in the secret chamber were designed the way they were.
But intuition told him that these four stone pillars must represent some array and could not be easily altered!
Now that the position of the moon is determined- it’s in the center.
So, wouldn’t the positions of the four pillars be determined by confirming one more point?
“The cellar on Tailor Street!”
Leonard Churchill’s eyes flickered, he had grasped the key point.
If his guess was correct, the cellar on Tailor Street was once one of the locations of the four pillars.
Does that mean there are three other locations with similar sacrificial ceremony sites?
Leonard Churchill didn’t care much about the Old Days Sect.
In this world, curse card masters have coexisted with gods and demons for many years. The power struggle at that level was far beyond what he could currently handle.
With the many hidden talents in the Sinless City, he didn’t believe he was the only one who noticed something strange about that moon.
Despite this, Leonard Churchill suddenly had a bold idea: “In case I can find another sacrificial site, could I also find the Secret Cause Spirit Medium?!”
His thoughts suddenly became clear.
Leonard Churchill’s eyes sparkled.
He felt that it was about time to give those Old Days believers a big surprise!
