The whirlpool in the bathtub spun.
Han Dong thought that he would go straight to the church's gate hidden in London.
Who knew that things weren't that simple.
As his body was slowly absorbed by the whirlpool, a strong sense of spatial compression acted on his body.
It was different from normal spatial transmission.
This time, it was like passing through a black hole channel. He felt that his organs were squeezed together, and he was supported by his torso.
The spatial transmission lasted for half an hour.
Just as Han Dong felt that his body had been compressed into strips of meat and was about to suffocate …
A series of bubbles rose from the bottom of the bathtub.
Cough, cough, cough!
Violent coughs came from the same bathroom.
Accompanied by a series of coughs, his body slowly returned to normal.
Han Dong found that he was still sitting in the bathtub, instead of arriving at the church's gate as he had expected.
However, everything around him had changed.
The bathtub itself was in a spiral shape, and the clear water inside was constantly stirring.
The bathroom also showed a strange scene.
The spiral shower head,
The mirror surface of the concave whirlpool structure,
And the conical spiral structure of the bath products,
Everything was related to the whirlpool.
Han Dong frowned and couldn't make a conclusion yet. He immediately left the bathroom and went to the guest room.
The wallpaper of the guest room was densely packed with irregular spiral marks of different sizes. After staring at it for a while, he even felt that these marks were rotating at different speeds.
He stepped to the window.
The city of London in front of him stunned Han Dong.
The city of London, which was almost the same as a human city, had completely changed, becoming a twisted city with a spiral theme.
"Could it be that the Church of the Maelstrom built a parallel space on the basis of the city of London? How could it be … The city of London is not an ordinary city. The city itself is tied to a king-level land deed.
Could it be that the Mother of the Night was really bewitched and rebelled?
With the land deed authority, a hidden parallel city was built on the 'opposite side' of the city of London, where the Church of the Maelstrom secretly developed.
But …
Could the Old King, who was a witness and even a part of the truth, really be bewitched?
Not to mention that the Mother was not an independent king. She was still a subordinate of the Chaos Walker. Doing such a betrayal of the world would definitely be punished by the Chaos Walker, right?
It's too early to make a conclusion. Let's take a look first. "
Han Dong observed the strange attire of the pedestrians on the street and immediately brought out his traditional attire.
He put on the familiar "Bird's Beak Mask."
Put on the "Holy Vestment" sewn with metal threads.
Gray tentacles with spots floated behind his head, touching the walls, carpets, decorations, and so on in the room, absorbing "environmental factors."
Environment simulation.
When the tentacles retracted back into his head, the presence that Han Dong exuded could completely blend in with the environment, turning him into a simple and undetectable trainee.
"Let's go out and take a look."
When he opened the door, Han Dong was immediately stunned.
A strange instructor was kneeling at the door.
He was wearing a top-notch horn-shaped hat, which completely covered his head and shoulders.
In the center of the cloth cap, a whirlpool was formed by the hemp rope.
The reason why he was in a kneeling position was that his knees had been permanently removed. If one were to observe carefully, they would discover that there were coiled centipedes around his knees. As long as any new flesh grew, the centipedes would eat it.
They were only allowed to [kneel].
At the same time, there were a large number of curved iron nails on his back, symbolizing their "merits."
He was a "Guide" and was responsible for guiding the new instructors to the church to report.
As long as the new instructors could successfully enter the church, they would receive a "Sinful Nail" from the priest, which would be nailed into their back.
When the number of nails reached a hundred.
Their sins would be forgiven, and they could regain their standing posture and become official instructors.
It seemed that all the new instructors needed to complete a series of [Trials] to offset their sins.
Becoming a "Guide" was only one of the optional trials.
… … This scene made Togu's heart itch. He wanted his back to be nailed full of such nails.
Han Dong's attention stayed on the hands of the "Guide".
In his hands was a long scroll of parchment - "Sin and Sin Covenant."
"Although the followers sacrificed their own kind to show their loyalty, you were born as sinful Fiends. You need to wash away the sins of your flesh with the Ascetic Training."
In other words, the current Han Dong could not enter the church. He had to complete a "Ascetic Training Trial" in the Covenant to be recognized by the church and be an official instructor.
According to the Covenant, there were five types of trials to wash away sins.
1. "Guide" was the trial that the Guide in front of him was undergoing. It was also the simplest and most intuitive way.
2. "Performance" required the trainee to perform a painful performance within the city of London and be recognized by more than ten official instructors.
3. "Excursion" required the trainee to wear iron chains on his feet, tie his hands behind his back, and hang a heavy incense burner around his neck. He had to walk three laps around the outermost area of London.
4. "Teaching materials" became the physical teaching materials of the church's branch and allowed the church to use them for three days.
5. "Contribution" provided the church with clues about the Impurities. These Impurities referred to those who did not intend to join the Church of the Maelstrom but broke into this world.
The five different trials had a time limit. If one did not complete the trial within the specified time or failed on the way, he would be labeled as a "failure" and become an object of the church until death.
"In this way, to further ensure the loyalty of the instructors?
Not a bad method. After all, the Fiends are extremely loyal to their former king. Only by breaking down their original loyalty and giving them absolutely standardized religious management can it be possible to change their beliefs. "
At this time, the Guide kneeling in front of him said in a low voice.
"Please choose a trial."
"I choose..."
Han Dong originally wanted to choose the fifth trial. With the little magic eye, he should be able to efficiently search for the Impurities without suffering any pain.
But a voice in his body immediately changed Han Dong's mind.
"The fourth trial -" Teaching materials "."
"This trial takes the shortest time, but the mortality rate is higher. Are you sure you want to choose?"
"Yes."
"Please come with me..."
"Can you wait for me for a moment? I'll come after I go to the toilet."
"Go, please do not have any thoughts of escaping. Once you refuse the trial, you will immediately be purged by the church."
"Okay, I just need to go to the toilet."
Han Dong returned to the toilet and immediately summoned Togu.
A tentacle connected to Togu's bald head, achieving a "shared disguise" and making Togu look exactly like himself.
"Togu, are you sure there's no problem?"
Togu showed a very casual expression. "Master, you have never been to the monastery in hell. The so-called trials of suffering here are as simple as breathing for me. "
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Indeed.
As Togu left with the Guide, Han Dong also gained three days of freedom.
"[Impurities]... I knew there must be other Fiends with similar goals as me. I'll try to find them.
At the same time, I'll have a general understanding of the structure of this distorted parallel world. "
