The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 499 Behind Him (Part )

This magnificent, brilliant, dark and twisted dream ended up with nothingness and blur...

Then, Liu Sheng's dream was interrupted by a shaking.

"Get up, Beatrice, or you'll be late for church!"

A low but urgent voice came to my ears.

Liu Sheng opened his eyes with great effort, and what came into view was an enlarged old and tired face that was right in front of him. The red hair was withered like a dried rose, and the face was covered with wrinkles. Only the pair of emerald green eyes were flashing with a blazing light, staring at Liu Sheng intently.

Liu Sheng sat up and a concept emerged in her mind - the person in front of her was her mother.

According to memory, Liu Sheng is now called Beatrice Anderson. She has both parents and a younger brother who is two years younger than her and is a nasty person.

The mother's tone was gentle but with a hint of anxiety: "Hurry up and get dressed. You don't want to be late, do you?"

Liu Sheng's eyes swept across the bed and saw a white dress neatly placed there. It looked rough in texture, but at least it was white.

She remembered that today was an extremely important day.

According to the revelations in the divine book, the selection of priests will officially begin seven days after the day of God's descent.

The chosen person will become God's representative on earth, shouldering the important task of conveying God's will and protecting the world. Only in this way can the endless cold night be driven away and light and hope be brought.

The news of the selection had already spread from the church, and only girls over the age of eighteen were eligible to participate.

And Beatrice Anderson just happened to have turned eighteen a few days ago.

This made her go from being the neglected eldest daughter in the family to a highly-watched "light of hope", gaining much attention that her father and mother had not given her in the past decade.

After his mother left the room and closed the door gently, Liu Sheng slowly got up and changed his clothes.

The dim oil lamp flickered with a weak light, illuminating the simple room - apart from a bed and a table, there was almost no other items.

But on a cold night, it's nice to have a room of your own.

This is all thanks to her father, a rare craftsman in this small town of survivors.

Before the cold night came, he was just an ordinary maintenance worker with no social status. Unexpectedly, after the cold night, he would become so popular, at least his family would not have to worry about food and clothing.

A tentacle extended from Liu Sheng's hand, grew eyes and looked at him. He could see a red-haired woman in his field of vision.

He also had messy red hair, a face full of freckles, and large green eyes that were bright and alert.

[Very much like my mother.]

She retracted her tentacles and pushed open the door. Liu Sheng saw that her father, mother and younger brother were already eating breakfast in the small kitchen.

My father is a serious middle-aged man. Time has carved deep wrinkles on his face and his gray hair makes him look particularly old.

However, due to the sudden improvement in his status, his back, which had been hunched over due to years of hard work, straightened a lot, and his thin figure before the cold night became much plumper, especially his belly.

His younger brother, Andy, is a red-haired boy with freckles all over his face. He has a bamboo-slim figure and a loud voice that is unique to teenagers.

Their breakfast is a simple bacon and egg omelette.

Although it is simple, it is enough to show that the family is well off.

[At least I can eat pork and eggs on a cold night. This world is incredible.]

[According to Beatrice's memory, someone in the town was raising them in a greenhouse.]

[It seems that the original breeding technology level in this world is not low, which is why it can be achieved like this. ]

[Plus, there is the blessing of "God"...]

But Liu Sheng soon noticed that there was no breakfast on the table.

"You still can't eat today, remember?" Mother looked up and reminded, "Before the priest selection, you need to purify the turbid air. You can only drink water within seven days."

"Yes, mother." Liu Sheng replied with his head down.

[Fortunately, we entered as our real bodies. Although we were assimilated into Beatrice's appearance, we are still energy bodies that do not need food or sleep.]

[Otherwise, according to what she said, she would have starved to death, right?] [This selection...seems to be a round of screening for those with tough lives first.]

Liu Sheng sat down silently and drank the clean water that was said to be fetched from the church. He caught a glimpse of his younger brother Andy who was holding back a smirk.

While my parents were finishing their meal and clearing the dishes without noticing, I quietly passed a piece of bacon under the table and whispered, "Sister, you may not be selected anyway, do you want to have a piece of my bacon?"

[This kid seems to have bad intentions. ]

[Although I really want to eat it...]

[It seems that he is not willing to accept that his sister is chosen. ]

Liu Sheng wasn't hungry anyway, so he certainly wouldn't fall into his trap. He glanced at the bacon on the fork and shook his head coldly.

Andy was obviously disappointed, but he lost the energy to tease his sister because his mother turned around and noticed his little trick. She immediately twisted his ear angrily and said, "How dare you ruin our family's good thing?"

"She won't be chosen anyway!" Andy shouted unconvinced.

"Your sister is so pure, how could she not be chosen?" When Andy's mother heard what he said, she slapped him.

Then he knelt on the ground and prayed nervously, muttering to himself, as if asking God to forget what Andy had said.

Andy covered his face with his hands, his eyes filled with resentment.

But his father just glanced at him coldly, and he immediately put away the expression, sat down with his head lowered, and quietly continued to eat the bacon and eggs he had poked in the plate.

After praying, Liu Sheng looked at his mother and began to bite his nails.

Her nails were covered in blood, and the nails were bloody and mangled.

But the whole family seemed to be indifferent to such a mother, and didn't care at all that she almost bit her fingers.

This world is a little strange.

She didn't expect the world behind the corpse of the god would be like this. She thought she would appear directly in the higher-dimensional world, but she didn't expect it to be in such a strange place.

And judging from the race and cultural customs, it is somewhat similar to the Western empires I have read about in books.

Faced with such a completely different world, I wonder what other people would do.

While she was thinking, her parents were already urging her to leave home.

Andy insisted on going, but his parents disagreed.

"Remember, never open the door casually, even if it's someone you know," the mother also warned.

Andy pouted rebelliously, but a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, and he nodded silently.

As soon as he left the house, Liu Sheng immediately wrapped his cotton jacket tightly.

Outside, the wind and snow were howling, the sky was dark, and the streets were covered with thick snow.

Several families were wrapped in coats and sweeping the snow. The dim light shone through the windows, outlining the white outlines of the houses covered in snow, like cold urns.

The cold wind was biting, and she was only wearing a thin white skirt under her cotton-padded jacket. If it weren't for Liu Sheng's special physique, she would not be able to bear it. But now she still had to pretend, shivering and wrapping herself tightly in the jacket.

Her mother immediately hugged her and said nervously, "Be careful not to catch a cold."

Then he said, "Otherwise it will affect the selection of priests, which will be bad."

My father remained silent and walked to the door and started the car.

Liu Sheng got into the car and felt the slightly warmer air inside.

The energy source of cars in this world is different from that in her world. It is a kind of fuel. Moreover, this car can only run on the ground and cannot fly.

The car started, and Liu Sheng couldn't help but look back. He saw Andy's face still pressed against the window, looking like an abandoned puppy with a lost expression.

Someone had been considerate enough to clear the snow in front of their house, so the driveway was clear and the car eased smoothly out of the driveway and into the street.

Suddenly, Liu Sheng felt something and looked back, only to find that Andy's face had changed, like a flattened rubber mask stuck to the glass window, squeezing out a distorted upward smile.
