Infinite Terror: This Middle Continent is Rebellious

Chapter 13 The Lord is also the Lord

Zhan Lan stepped forward and said to Eve, "May the grace of God always be with us."

"Oh, yes, may the Lord bless you, Amen."

When she saw Zhan Lan, who was also a woman, Eve's tone became gentle.

Zhan Lan smiled slightly and said to Eve, "Miss Eve, it's actually like this. We also met someone who came back from Hamunatta. That person brought back some gold from Hamunatta and donated it to our church."

Jonathan asked hurriedly, "Is there really priceless gold there?"

Zhan Lan nodded and asked Zheng Zha for a few gold bars. When Jonathan saw the gold bars, his eyes almost turned into light bulbs and his face was full of excitement.

Eve asked in surprise, "Gold? There really is gold? I thought it was just a rumor."

"That's right, but we didn't come here for the gold," Zhan Lan said seriously to Eve and Jonathan, holding the gold bars. "These gold bars have a very dangerous curse on them. When the donor came to our church, he was almost dead. After the priest performed an exorcism on him, he revealed the origin of the gold bars."

"Curse? Sorry, I don't believe in those old stories."

Eve shook her head and scoffed at Zhan Lan's words.

Zhan Lan said to Zheng Zha, "Show it to Miss Eve. As the Lord's agent, exercise the power bestowed upon you by the Lord."

Zhan Lan spoke directly, and Zheng Zha understood what she meant. He directly activated the first-level gene lock, controlled the internal force to flow to his legs, and then stepped hard on the ground.

"boom!"

The ground made a muffled sound, and Zheng Zha's calf sank deeply into the mud. When he lifted his leg from the ground, there was a depression more than 20 centimeters deep, and the shape of this depression was exactly the same as Zheng Zha's foot.

Zheng Zha took two steps back, and Eve and Jonathan squatted down at the same time. They touched the footprints on the ground, looked at Zheng Zha's feet, and then their eyes met, with a look of stunned stupidity on their faces.

"Oh! My Lord!"

"I'm not dreaming, am I?"

They had just walked past here and were sure that this was solid ground. Now they reached out and touched it, and there was indeed a hole more than 20 centimeters deep on the ground.

It couldn't be a trick, nor was it some kind of manipulation. The person in front of me really stepped on the ground and created a hole of more than 20 centimeters.

Leaving footprints of more than 20 centimeters on solid ground is not something that can be done by human power. If someone can do it, that person must have been blessed by the Lord!

O'Connor sighed, "Only Samson, who was given strength by the Lord, could possess such great power, right?"

Samson is a character in Christian mythology. He was born in the promise of God and possessed superhuman strength given by God. He once killed a thousand enemies with a piece of wet donkey jawbone and killed a lion with his bare hands.

However, Zheng Zha's strength is far greater than that of Samson.

Zhan Lan continued, "After the priest reported the Hamunaptra incident to the bishop, the bishop prayed to the Lord and received a prophecy. An ancient demon was about to be resurrected in Hamunaptra, and his resurrection would bring ten disasters to Egypt. To prevent this disaster, the bishop sent our Burial Agency's agents to Egypt to eliminate the demon."

Eve asked blankly, "Are you sure what you said is true?"

Zhan Lan placed his palm on the Bible and said sincerely, "In the name of the Lord, everything I say is true."

God is the Lord, and the Lord God is also the Lord, there is no difference.

Zheng Zha walked up to Wen Lie and asked quietly, "Did you suddenly call me just now to ask me to show my strength?"

Wen Lie asked unhappily, "What else?"

Zheng Zha smiled sheepishly and said, "Don't you have a substitute, the god Anubis?"

Wen Lie sighed, "Bare hands are more convincing than weapons. Can you use your brain?" Zheng Zha smiled bitterly and said, "Next time if you have something to say, just tell me directly. How can I understand if you don't tell me?"

Wen Lie turned his head away and complained in his heart: I didn’t know that eye contact could be deceptive.

Many works have scenes of eye contact.

It was obvious that Wen Lie took it seriously.

Eve curiously asked Zhan Lan, "What is the Burial Agency? Is it the church's exorcism department?"

"Rather than calling it an exorcism department, it's more like a demon-killing group," Zhan Lan explained. This setting was provided by Wen Lie and is based on the novel "Tsuki Ji." "We're not exorcists who expel demons, but executioners who slay demons. We resolve the contradictions of Christianity with the power of the Lord, not the law of the Lord. We adopt a meritocracy, and even believers unfamiliar with the Bible can join."

What Zhan Lan said was too conservative. In fact, as long as you help kill vampires, you can be a formal believer.

"Simply put, we're not good at exorcism rituals, and some of us aren't even good at reading scriptures. The only thing we're good at is killing demons."

O'Connor looked thoughtful.

A violent organ of the church? Anyone with the ability can join, regardless of their faith?

In O'Connor's understanding, this is roughly what Zhan Lan meant.

Eve didn't quite understand this, and with a look of awe, she continued, "Then why are you staying? The ship to Hamunaptra has already arrived."

Zheng Zha interrupted and explained, "The ancient demon of Hamunatta is too powerful, and it has powerful minions. We are not strong enough. Before we go to Hamunatta, we plan to ask the British garrison for help and ask them to send an army to go with us."

"British troops!" Jonathan jumped up and said hurriedly, "How can this be possible?"

Zheng Zha asked in return: "Why not?"

Jonathan was speechless.

Is this even a question? If the British army had gone with them, would they still have a share of the gold?
In order to cooperate with the Central Continent team, Eve agreed to postpone the trip to Hamunaptra for one day. Jonathan was reluctant, but was dragged back to the city by Eve.

However, Zhao Yingkong did not leave with everyone else. She disappeared alone in the crowd at the dock.

British base area.

It was the same trick. Zheng Zha activated the second-level gene lock and showed the British army a trick of catching a submachine gun bullet with his bare hands, and also showed off his red flame. Zhan Lan talked nonsense and displayed more than a dozen gold bars, successfully fooling the British commander.

The two sides agreed that in the early morning of three days later, the British base area would send troops to assist God's agents to go to Hamunaptra, where a large amount of gold was buried, to fight against the ancient evil spirits.

Three days flew by.

Early that morning, sunlight shone into the hotel through the window. Wen Lie stretched lazily and walked up the stairs to the restaurant on the first floor.

"Morning, everyone."

"morning."

"Good morning."

After greeting everyone, Wen Lie sat down next to Zhao Yingkong.

After taking a quick look at the various foods on the table, Wen Lie tore off a piece of bread and started eating it with the sweet sauce made of cheese and tomatoes.
