Chapter 363 Um... Kingdom of Heaven

“I am extremely sorry that I had to meet the angel of the Lord in such a place.”

The girl with long blond hair came to me, then made a textbook-standard cross-religion gesture on her chest, and said so in a respectful tone.

If any uninformed Christian believer saw this scene and recognized the girl's identity, he would probably immediately choose to believe in Allah? The highest spiritual leader of the English Puritan Church, Grand Bishop Laura, actually showed such a deferential attitude towards an esper in Academy City. This was even more unacceptable than if Jesus Christ was actually a woman.

But what I'm thinking about now is something else.

"So what, if possible, can you speak English?".

Although through a series of language translation mechanisms and the screening of a massive memory bank, I could barely figure out what Laura said, but this kind of situation is simply more difficult than re-mastering a foreign language - I Should it be said that the greatest bishop who accidentally went offline really has various hidden powers?

Well, strength in all aspects.

I observed the girl in front of me calmly, quickly summarizing all the data in my mind, and then uploaded it to a Xiling host that happened to be free.

Her real age is probably equivalent to mine several times. Although it may be a bit rude to say it, the "girl" in front of me who looks only seventeen or eighteen years old is really an "old woman" as I guessed before, but I don’t know what method he used, but the other party actually erased this period of age, and even extended his lifespan to more than ten times that of ordinary humans, and the entire physiological aging process has almost stopped... I don’t dare to reach the point of immortality. I think, but before the arrival of the next new millennium, the greatest bishop will definitely continue to be young. Why do all kinds of subtle feelings suddenly arise in his heart? Aleister is an old monster who uses science and technology to extend his lifespan to theoretically thousands of years, and the Laura in front of him is not inferior to him. Are all the people in power in this world traveled by Qin Shihuang?

But Laura didn't care about my gaze. She cared about another thing: "Ah, what do you mean, Lord Angel... I don't quite understand."

Even so, seeing the sudden blush on her face and her slightly bewildered behavior, one can imagine that the greatest bishop, known as the fox girl, did not seem to have thought of anything at all.

Steele's expression tightened subtly, as if he was desperately holding back something, and then he coughed and said: "Your Excellency, Archbishop, I think what Lord Angel means is that you'd better change to a language that both parties can understand. At least don’t use this…suspicious Japanese thing.”

"Eh?!" Laura exclaimed in a low voice, then covered her lips with embarrassment, and said in a panic, "My Japanese...my Japanese should be completely fine! Lord Angel must mean something else!"

"Laura," I finally felt helpless about the unconscious side of the girl in front of me, "there is something that may not be easy for you to accept, but it is news from heaven..."

"yes!"

No matter what kind of panic she was in, after hearing the words "News from Heaven", Laura immediately became serious, clasped her hands in front of her chest, then closed her eyes slightly, and greeted the coming event with a solemn expression. "Admonition", even Steele, who always looked like a ruffian behind him, immediately put out the cigarette in his hand and made the same move.

"In fact...Laura, your Japanese problem...has been humiliated to heaven, and God knows about it..."

This is a fact. According to Paopao, Dingdang has also started watching Magical Forbidden recently.

"So let's talk in English."

"puff!!"

With an earth-shattering sound, Steele finally couldn't control himself and almost spit out a mouthful of blood, while Laura suddenly opened her eyes wide, and then asked with despair on her face: "Is this true?".

Well, this time it was finally changed to English.

"Speaking of which, as a senior leader of the Cross Religion, I was a little surprised to personally go deep into a scientific base like Academy City." Looking at the "girly" creature in front of him who was completely lost due to language problems, he said I awkwardly changed the subject, "What's going on? Or are you just here for a pilgrimage?"….

No matter how sinister she is, Laura is an extremely devout Christian. After learning that the "God's Side" was coming to Academy City, it was possible that she would make a special pilgrimage here, as long as she was there. For a fanatical believer, it is normal to do such irrational things.

"As a servant of the Lord, after hearing that angels have descended on the earth, no matter how dangerous the place is, I should come and obey the instructions. Isn't this normal?"

Laura's expression was very serious when she said this, but there is some truth in it that is questionable. Just relying on Steele and the others' words, it is still unknown how much Laura can believe in the identity of our "god envoys", and they are still a group of people. The legendary "Angel Tour Group" is completely out of touch and can even be described as discrediting heaven. Can a devout believer at the level of the Pope believe such nonsense?

However... it seems that if you find a group of subordinates who are pleasing to the eye and obedient in this complicated world, many things will be easy to accomplish, at least for the "angel" who will cause a world-scale disaster in Lin Xue's prophecy , I am quite interested.

Compared to Aleister, who is cunning and doesn't think very well, I still think the fox girl in front of me, who is equally cunning but can at least be tamed with faith, is better.

"You should have heard it from the old smoker," I said slowly, touching my chin, "Although we have a good relationship with God, the real God and the God you believe in are not the same concept. , we don’t care much about your beliefs, and the God and angels you worship are not us.”

"Such things are meaningless," Laura said with a smile, "Faith lies in our hearts, belief in God, worshiping angels, and spreading the glory of the Lord. These are our heartfelt wishes, even if our Lord - ah, Please God forgive me for my sins - even if my Lord does not exist, what does it matter?"

"As the greatest bishop, your views are really strange..." I listened dumbfounded to the words coming out of Laura's mouth and sighed from the bottom of my heart, "Could you be an undercover agent? There are so many words."

In fact, what I'm more curious about is how Laura, who has such alternative ideas, got into the Christian religion and deceived her until now?

"The Lord exists, because we believe so, He exists in our hearts," Laura explained, "Then, as long as you are the messenger of the Lord, you are the person I should respect, but before that, I don't know if I have Are you qualified to feel the glory of the Lord?”

Sure enough... Do you want a letter of introduction from God?

This woman does not seem to be very simple. In a sense, the other party should be the kind of "rational fanatical believer" who has unconditional belief and unquestionable worship, even though she knows that the God she believes in is just a man-made creation. The idol that emerges will also offer all its piety. Even if it knows that no one will listen to its prayers, it can still preach without hesitation. What it believes in is not Jehovah in the scriptures, but the God in its own heart. In psychology, we Calling this phenomenon... anyway, it is a very strange psychological phenomenon.

Laura looked at me with curiosity in her eyes. It seemed that she did not completely doubt the news brought back by Steele. After all, it belonged to her confidant. She still had this trust. Now she wanted to see it with her own eyes. What about "the glory of the Lord"?

"Alaya, prepare a shadow space."

The patented technology of Apostle Xiling, Shadow Space, although false, has achieved a method of creating a world out of nothing on the material level. Its principle seems to be to achieve creation in a parallel space by using a tricky method of copying ready-made information from the existing world. The effect of matter is a miracle that cannot be touched in ten thousand years for people on earth, but for Xiling people, it is a necessary "tent" for home travel. The shadow space created by Pandora replicates an entire k City, Alaya's shadow space partially reproduces her own residence on the home planet - should it be no problem to use it to hoodwink the greatest bishop? many words

"Don't move around for a while. If you damage public property, you will be fined twice the original price." I said this, and then stretched out my hands in a decent manner.

"Huh?" Laura and Steele were surprised at the same time. They must have originally thought of letting the angel appear so that they could "pilgrimage", and they didn't even think of my plan. ….

In my opinion, although I don't doubt Lola's magical attainments, Aleister is not a fool after all. I can't guarantee that he has any other way to monitor the movements here. Rather than taking such a risk, it is safer to go somewhere else. The place is better.

At this moment, the surrounding space finally began to change.

The scenery far and near was like a disturbed water surface, shaking slightly. Except for a few people standing here, everything seemed to have become an unreal projection. The information on the main material plane was constantly being eroded by Alaya's consciousness. Qing reluctantly chose to retreat, and our connection with the world quickly became weak.

"How is this going--"

Steele spoke in surprise, but due to the delay caused by the turbulence of space, I would rather say that it was caused by the delay caused by the laws of the world that were too late to process. His voice sounded ridiculously turned into a long sound when the tape recorder ran out of power.

Then, everything around him shattered like glass, and a white halo suddenly descended, covering everything.

The halo faded and we emerged into a dim garden.

Gloomy, please allow me to use such a word to describe the garden, because there seems to be no sky here. What is above our heads is a dark and chaotic space without any light source, but it seems that there is no need for light in this space for us to see. The surrounding things, under our feet is some kind of ground made of white jade, and next to it is a fan-shaped flower bed. Various flowers and plants that cannot be named are planted in the flower bed. They are probably unique to the Xiling mother planet, and a little further away. At a certain point, Roman-style white stone pillars formed three arcs, surrounding the garden about a hundred meters in diameter. Outside the walls of the stone pillars, there was a large area of ​​boundless chaotic clouds and mist that was constantly surging, as if in the air. There is something blocking them from coming over. According to Alaya, there is still a lawless zone connected to the void. Because it is a parallel space formed in an instant, the area of ​​this shortcut version of the shadow space is quite limited, and a certain person seems to There was no time to generate a more reasonable sky for it.

Golden light gradually emerged from the surrounding air, and then converged into the form of a girl. Alaya appeared as gorgeously as ever, her big wings with a wingspan of three meters waved slightly, and immediately the dim courtyard was filled with holy spirits. White light, those white jade stones obviously have a very strong affinity for the holy light. Driven by Alaya's power, they emit a milky white halo, giving this gray space finally a hint of heaven.

Are you using yourself as a light source... Alaya, you are really good at it.

"This...here is..."

Steele is not an idiot. He is well versed in magic and has already discovered that he has entered a completely unfamiliar space. Even the air is filled with energy forms that are different from the earth. Correspondingly, in the super affinity Under the influence of the holy light, part of the spiritual power generated by faith in him and Laura became more active than ever before, even more active than being baptized in the cathedral - no matter what their magic form was, as long as they worshiped the idol Being in the form of an angel, it is destined to be unable to escape the instigation of the power of the Holy Light. This is a universal law that is forcibly injected into every world due to the "existence" of the stars in the stars. For those who just "exist" can make the world I am really fascinated by bt with its defined attributes...

"Welcome to the Kingdom of Heaven, well, even though it's just a small garden next to the communication room - you know, mortals basically can't bear any light from the Kingdom of Heaven, and this is the only place that can temporarily receive humans like you."

Anyway, no one has exposed it, so I just made it up.

"If you can, even if you give your life to receive that light..."

Laura finally lost her calm indifference at the beginning. At this moment, her hands were clasped in front of her chest, with extremely obvious enthusiasm in her eyes. As a devout believer, she could have such an experience of entering the "Kingdom of Heaven", which was obviously disappointing. She had an excess of adrenaline.

"You can't bear it even if you give your life." How can I give her any light from heaven? Large doses of void radiation can be seen everywhere. "That is the truth of the world, something you can't understand and don't need to understand. In addition, that That old smoker over there - the Bible says that smoking is strictly prohibited within a hundred meters from heaven, don't you know?"

"Ahem..." Steele coughed violently a few times, then hurriedly threw the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out, "Is this written in the Bible?". ….

"From now on." Laura frowned dissatisfied, and the seriousness in her tone made me have no doubt that the greatest bishop would really add this prohibition to the Bible.

Suddenly I think this is very interesting... Why don't we play again?

"I said," with helpless eyes, I shook my head and looked at Steele who was a little at a loss, and then pointed to the ground with my chin, "you'd better take this thing back before the city management comes."

Steele was stunned: "There are still urban management officials in heaven?"

And Laura almost went crazy and shouted to Steele: "You idiot! Pick up the cigarette butts!!!"

It can make Calm Di Luola go crazy, it seems that the deception was successful.

"Okay, let's get down to business now."

I sat down on a stone chair next to me. Alaya immediately came over and put the wings on my legs. Before taking out the comb, I suddenly had an idea: What if I spread a tablecloth on the wings to make tea? How would this stupid angel react?

"First of all, the purpose of your coming here. Well, although the coming of angels is a very important event for the Christian Church, I don't think you are so fanatical that even the greatest bishop's caution is put aside."

After confirming our "identity", Laura was obviously much more respectful. Although the greatest bishop was also the spokesperson of Jehovah, compared with the angels who really serve God, she was still a lower class, so she immediately lowered her head. Lai replied: "The main thing is to verify whether your arrival is real, and I heard from Steele that you hope that the British Puritan Church can help the Kingdom of Heaven find the lost angels. As the largest bishop of the British Puritan Church, I think It would be better for me to listen to this order myself."

That's nice to say - in this way, my casual command will be directly elevated to the level of an oracle from heaven, and then it will be equivalent to accepting the British Puritanism as orthodox. The meaning is obvious: the Roman Orthodox Church has not been able to obtain the divine power. recognition, so God gave his will to the British Puritan side. This fox girl is really good at planning.

Taking advantage of each other, at least in my opinion, that's right.

"We all know what happened. An angel has been separated from everyone. Let me declare in advance that I cannot tell you about this angel's rank, name, or ability, because that is not something that can be said from my mouth." I made it up casually, and then Laura's face immediately put on a disappointed expression, "Your mission is to find her as quickly as possible, but because the other party is special, don't contact her rashly after discovering her traces. You should inform me as soon as possible. Do you understand this? It’s quite a few words.”

Laura nodded: "Although I don't understand it very well, if it is an order from the Kingdom of Heaven, I will definitely obey it."

Really, not departing from the command of heaven, completely placing the British Puritan Church in the position of a close disciple of God!

"Well, that's best. In this way, you don't have to go to the Roman Orthodox Church."

I nodded decently, and then Laura immediately made a regretful expression: "Ah, that's such a pity. Because of this, the Roman Orthodox Church lost the glory of serving the Lord."

Believe it or not, I will change my mind right now! ?
