The bloody heart of the leader of the Church of Pestilence rolled out.
The blind believers were about to commit suicide as well. Lin Jie sighed and controlled everyone with his thoughts.
"Where's Doris?" Lin Jie couldn't be bothered with the believers. He turned to ask the elves who had been unchained.
One of the elderly elves said, "The door between the Dream World and the real world has been opened. Lady Doris went to see the Silver Lady and Boss Lin."
Lin Jie nodded. Doris did say that she wanted to see him, but now it seemed like … she missed it.
"You can go now," Lin Jie said. The elves wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, they knelt down and saluted Lin Jie. They supported each other and walked back to the road to the Upper City District.
At this moment, many miners who were attracted by the commotion appeared in the tunnel. They looked at Lin Jie with fear in their eyes.
The Church of Pestilence's existence couldn't be ignored in the underground world. Even the Upper City District acknowledged their existence. Because of this, most people had heard of the Church of Pestilence's teachings.
When the God underground woke up, everything in the human world would be destroyed.
They, who had been tainted by the God, had a stronger connection with Lin Jie. They had a natural intimacy and respect for Lin Jie.
Lin Jie raised his hand and gently pushed aside Red's blood-soaked hair. An invisible force gathered and healed her wounds, returning her life to her. Remember the URL: m.9biquge.com.
Even though life and death were in Lin Jie's hands and he was almost omnipotent, all this power was like a demon that was about to change him.
The girl's face started to regain color. She coughed a few times. Tears that were too late for death flowed out of her tightly shut eyes. Then, she slowly opened her eyes. Lin Jie's calm face entered her sight.
"… Boss … Lin?" Red said weakly.
Ever since she saw Lin Jie, he had always been expressionless in her memory. It was as if tomorrow was the end of the world. It was as if he had seen through everything and always observed everything indifferently.
But now, Lin Jie's gaze was gentle and concerned, just like how her grandmother looked at her when she was sick, but not quite the same.
However, Lin Jie's hands, which were tightly covering his neck, were no different from his grandmother's warm hands in his memory.
When they were red and dizzy, they gently touched their foreheads, as if they were hands full of love that could cure all diseases.
At this moment, Lin Jie and her grandmother were the warmest memories in Red's life.
"Am I dead? Boss Lin? "she asked hoarsely.
Lin Jie relaxed his furrowed brows and said with a smile, "No, I revived you."
"… So, you really do know how to revive people." Red raised the corner of her mouth and smiled.
"Because I'm a god," Lin Jie said seriously.
Red was stunned for a moment. She shook her head and said, "You're the same as my grandmother. You both treat me like a child and love me."
"From now on, you're no longer a child." Lin Jie smiled gently and helped her up. The girl's stiff limbs almost fell, but Lin Jie supported her again.
Red looked at the crowd surrounding her and took two steps forward. She stared blankly at everyone.
Lin Jie grabbed Red's hand and pulled her in front of all the members of the Church of Pestilence. He suddenly said, "Your leader is dead."
"From now on, Red is the new leader of the Church of Pestilence."
Just like how the Tree Merchant Guild had to compete with Rohr for resources, after the upper and lower districts were connected, the Church of Pestilence had to coexist with the Church of the Sun … Otherwise, one day, the Church of the Sun would become the next Church of the Dome.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief. However, the one lying on the ground was their leader, and the one standing in front of them was a true god. They had to believe it.
"I …" Red opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
Lin Jie didn't wait for anyone to react, nor did he let Red speak. He pulled her forward and walked to the well where they first snuck underground. The black well was now filled with gray fog.
Lin Jie turned his head to look at Red and said, "Even a child will grow up one day. Not all adults are bad. And it's precisely because there are many bad adults that Red wants to become a good adult. You can make more people become good."
Red widened her red eyes and looked at the smiling Lin Jie.
"Because people will always grow up. This is not a choice, just like how I have to go back to my hometown."
"Boss Lin, don't you want to go back to your hometown?" Red only now realized that something was wrong with Lin Jie. She pulled his hand and asked anxiously.
Lin Jie smiled and said calmly, "I don't want to. Although the time I spent 'there' is much longer than 'here' … the word 'hometown' is very important to a person's identity."
From Earth to Norkin, a short thirty years of life was nothing more than a drop in the ocean compared to the endless time … Lin Jie looked at the well that was shrouded in gray fog and continued, "You made me understand many things, such as the dreams of humans like you."
Thinking that he probably wouldn't be able to come back, Lin Jie decided to tell Red everything about himself.
Including the fact that if he returned to the body of that god, he would no longer be Lin Jie.
"I am that god. I killed my parents in the other world, their friends … Because of my book, my blind instinct, it caused the sacrifice of countless people. Because of the existence of my body, the entire downtown area was polluted."
"I don't like it, but these are the facts." Lin Jie sighed and said, "If I accept the identity of a god, how will I bear the responsibility for the mistakes I made?"
"These things forced me to blame myself as a human, turning them into another voice in my heart, telling me that I am a god, that I don't need to sympathize with everyone, that I can control life and death, that I can control everything, that I can get whatever I want …"
"These words helped me walk out of my self-blame, but it also made me gradually leave the person I liked."
Lin Jie smiled bitterly as he said this. Then he squatted down and touched Red's head, "I'm sorry, telling you this doesn't make you a child."
"… I'm not a child anymore, Boss Lin, you said it." Red suddenly interrupted Lin Jie. She put her hands on her waist and said, "But whether I'm a child or not, I know one thing."
Red raised her hand and held Lin Jie's face. She pressed her forehead against his and gently closed her eyes, saying, "Because I know …"
"Boss Lin is the savior."
Lin Jie's black eyes, which were like pools of water, suddenly lit up.
"You are the savior in the books I've heard about."
"Because of your sacrifice, I have the chance to realize my dream." Red said. Tears flowed down her face again. She continued.
"Because of you, when you become the soul of this unconscious evil god, he will stop polluting."
"You are Boss Lin, not an evil god, you are the savior."
Lin Jie looked at Red, her red cheeks and bright eyes, and suddenly he seemed to understand something.
"You're right, I can't understand such a simple thing." Lin Jie smiled and said, "Red, you have to remember … there was a Boss Lin who liked to sell books. He was warm, kind, and helpful. He was such a person … so many people liked him."
Red nodded hard. At the same time, she felt that Lin Jie was gradually becoming transparent. She anxiously pulled back her hand, but found that Lin Jie had completely turned into gray fog.
"Boss Lin!"
She shouted, but the gray fog that filled the whole underground began to shrink slowly, and quickly gathered into the hole beside Red.
The gray fog that had existed underground for thousands of years finally dissipated.
It was like the weather after the rain, the wind stopped and the rain stopped. The pollution stopped at this moment.
The crocodile-like skin on Red's body began to disappear gradually, and the tentacles on her chin began to slowly retract her skin. Gradually, a chubby red-haired little girl with white skin and red hair appeared.
A pair of red eyes saw that the pollution of the people around her began to stop. They rejoiced and celebrated their new life.
But Red couldn't see her own face, and she didn't feel happy. She just looked at Lin Jie with tears in her eyes, who was under the abyss.
There was a savior who changed everything and stepped into hell.
Lin Jie, who arrived underground, appeared from the gray fog. A black cloak spread on the ground, like a pilgrim's robe, and he smelled a strong smell of blood. A red evil god's nest made of flesh and blood covered the whole underground.
And in the palace made of flesh and blood, a throne full of blood vessels stood in the center.
That was the throne that had been prepared for him for tens of millions of years.
"Boss Lin — —!!!" A familiar voice came from above. Red, who had stopped the pollution and returned to the appearance of a girl, was shouting his name — —
"Boss Lin! You're not an evil god, you're mine, the savior of everyone!! "
She kept shouting until she was hoarse, until she couldn't say a word anymore.
Lin Jie listened to her voice and walked slowly to the throne, like a traveler returning home after many years, and like he said, "If I don't go to hell, who will?"
He sat down and fell into a peaceful sleep.
