Chapter 1051: Chapter 150: Sins and Trials Chapter 1051: Chapter 150: Sins and Trials The water in the bath swirled.
Han Dong had thought he would go directly to the hidden church entrance in London.
Little did he know, things were not that simple.
As his body was slowly absorbed by the whirlpool, he experienced an intense “sense of space compression” affecting his entire body.
This was different from usual spatial transmission.
This time it felt like passing through a black hole channel, with all his internal organs squeezed together, relying solely on his body trunk for support.
The space shuttle continued for a full half hour.
Just when Han Dong felt his whole body had been compressed into strips of flesh and was about to suffocate,
gurgle~ a series of bubbles rose from the bottom of the bathtub.
Cough, cough, cough!
Violent coughing sounds came from the same bathroom.
Along with bouts of coughing, his body slowly returned to its original form.
Han Dong found himself still sitting in the bathtub, not at the church entrance as he had anticipated.
However, everything around him had changed.
The bathtub itself displayed a conical form, and the clear water inside was stirring continuously.
The bathroom also presented a bizarre scene.
A spiral shower head,
a concave whirlpool-structured mirror,
and conical spiral-structured bathing products,
everything was related to whirlpools.
Han Dong frowned, unable to make a definitive judgment just yet, and immediately left the bathroom to head to the guest room.
The wallpaper in the guest room had tightly arranged, irregularly sized spiral marks, and if stared at for a longer time, one could even feel these marks rotating at varying speeds.
With one stride, he went to the window.
The view of London City before him made Han Dong instantly stunned.
The previously almost identical human city of London had completely changed into a twisted city themed around spirals.
“Could it be that the ‘Whirlpool Cult’ has established a parallel space on the basis of London City? Impossible… London City is not just any ordinary city, it is bound together with a King Level Land Deed.
Could it be that the ‘Mother of the Night’ was really beguiled and betrayed us?”
Using the authority of the land deed, a deeply hidden parallel city was established on the ‘other side’ of London City, where the Whirlpool Cult is secretly developing.
But…
Would an ‘Old King’ who had witnessed and was even a part of the truth really be deceived?
Not to mention, the Mother is not an independent King. She is still a subordinate of the Chaos Walker. Taking such world-betraying action would surely result in immediate punishment from the Chaos Walker, right?
It’s too early to conclude now, let’s observe further.”
Han Dong briefly observed the strange attires of the pedestrians on the street, and immediately summoned a ‘traditional disguise’.
He put on the familiar ‘Bird Beak Mask’.
He draped the ‘Holy Robe’ sewn with metallic threads.
Grey tentacles with spots floated behind his head, touching walls, carpets, decorations in the room, and absorbing “environmental factors”.
Environmental simulation.
When the tentacles retracted into his head, the aura emitted by Han Dong completely blended with the environment, making him an unnoticeable and discreet ‘Preparatory Instructor’.
“Let’s go, take a look outside.”
When he pushed the door open, Han Dong was immediately stunned.
A bizarre instructor was kneeling at the door.
Wearing a pointed cloth hat that completely shrouded the head and shoulders.
In the center of the cloth hat, corresponding to the position of the face, a whirlpool was created by looping jute rope.
The reason for the kneeling position was because the knees had been permanently removed, and upon close observation, one would find centipedes coiling around the knee area, devouring any new flesh that grew.
Only allowed to “kneel and walk.”
At the same time, a large number of bent iron nails adorned his back, symbolizing their “achievements.”
He belonged to the “Guides,” specifically responsible for leading newcomers to the church to report.
As long as the newcomers he led successfully joined the church, they would receive a “Sin Nail” from the Priest, to be hammered into their back.
When the number of nails reached one hundred,
their sins were forgiven, and they could stand upright and become Official Instructors.
It seemed that all new instructors had to complete a series of “Trials” to offset their own sins.
Becoming a “Guide” was just one of the optional trials.
…This scene made Togu, inside Han Dong’s head, itch with desire to have his own back similarly filled with nails.
Han Dong’s attention, however, stayed on the Guide’s hands.
In his hands, he held a long scroll of parchment– the “Sin Covenant.”
“Although the newcomers sacrifice their kin to demonstrate loyalty, as sin-infested demons, they must engage in austere practices to cleanse the sins of their bodies.”
This meant that Han Dong was not yet able to join the church. He had to complete one of the “austere trials” stipulated in the Covenant to be recognized by the church and delve deeper as an Official Instructor.
According to the records on the Covenant, there were five types of trials to cleanse sins:
1. “Guiding,” the trial being endured by the Guide before him, which was the simplest and most direct method.
2. “Performance,” requiring preparatory instructors to endure a painful performance within the confines of London City, recognized by ten or more Official Instructors.
3. “Hiking,” requiring preparatory instructors to wear iron chains on their feet, bind their hands behind their backs, and hang a heavy incense burner around their neck, walking around the outermost part of London City three times.
4. “Teaching Materials,” voluntarily becoming the church division’s physical teaching materials, to be used by the church for three days.
5. “Contribution,” providing the church with clues about the impure, referring to life forms that accidentally enter this world without intending to join the Whirlpool Cult.
All these five different trials have time limits; if one fails to complete them within the stipulated time or fails midway, they will be labeled a “failure” and become property of the church until death.
“By such means, is further assurance of the instructor’s loyalty ensured?
A clever method…after all, the demons are intensely loyal to their Old King; only by progressively dismantling their original loyalty and imposing an absolutely standardized religious administration, can their faith possibly be transformed.”
At that moment, the Guide kneeling in front of him spoke in a deep voice:
“Please choose a trial.”
“I choose…”
Han Dong originally wanted to choose the fifth, for with the aid of the Little Demon Eye, he could efficiently search for the impure without enduring pain.
But an inner voice instantly made Han Dong change his mind.
“The fourth trial–‘Teaching Materials.”
“This trial has the shortest duration but a higher death rate… Are you sure you want to choose it?”
“Certain.”
“Please follow me…”
“Could you wait a moment for me, just going to the restroom.”
“Go ahead, but please do not entertain thoughts of escaping… Should you refuse the trial, you will be immediately purged by the church.”
“Right, just going to the restroom.”
Han Dong returned to the restroom and immediately summoned Togu.
A tentacle connected from Togu’s bald head, activating “Shared Disguise,” making Togu look exactly like himself.
“Togu, are you sure about this?”
Togu revealed a very leisurely expression, “…Master, you have never been to the monastery in Hell. The so-called trials of suffering here are as simple for me as breathing.”
“Then I leave it to you.”
Indeed.
As Togu followed the Guide away, Han Dong also gained three days of freedom.
“[The Impure]… I knew there had to be other demons with motives similar to mine, who also infiltrated, let’s see if I can find them.
At the same time, I’ll roughly understand the structure of this twisted parallel world.”
