Mental Illness Evolution Manual - Chapter 87

The two of them arrived at the square where the church was located, a return to a familiar place.

The plump and graceful stone sculpture of a maid was still holding a long-necked, narrow-mouthed bottle, pouring liquid into the pool. White doves circled in front of her, sometimes flying up, sometimes landing, occasionally washing their feathers in the pool water, making themselves white as clouds.

There were more people in the square, they were roughly divided into two groups: one was the believers, who had increased in number, and the other was the refugees who were receiving relief food.

Besides the church members who were distributing food, there were two people holding scriptures, preaching the doctrine, saying things about the Mother Goddess’s love for the world.

From the faces of the people receiving food, most of whom showed signs of being moved, it could be seen that they were not far from becoming believers.

Yan Xianchuan and the other person followed the group of believers into the church. The interior was solemn and majestic, only the faint sound of footsteps could be heard. Although there were many people, no one spoke, everyone spontaneously maintained silence.

Sunlight streamed through the colorful stained glass windows, casting a kaleidoscope of light on the ground. The murals on the ceiling told the story of the Mother Goddess’s descent to earth.

The bas-reliefs on both sides of the corridor told the story of the Mother Goddess’s help to mankind.

The blurred and compassionate face of the deity brought food to mankind, taught them the skills of survival and combat, passed down knowledge, and enlightened them. She asked for nothing in return, she was a true benevolent deity.

If the Mother Goddess Itaru really existed, if she saw herself being used as a tool to deceive believers, she would probably be so angry that she would jump out of the mural.

Unfortunately.

This was indeed a man-made god.

When they arrived in the hall, the first thing they noticed was her statue.

Perhaps some visual design techniques were used here, making people unconsciously focus their attention on it first.

The statue of Itaru was still exceptionally beautiful, it was spotless. The painted and gilded body was exquisitely beautiful, full of divinity. Although it was naked, it didn’t have any hint of sexual suggestiveness, nor did it make the viewer think of anything else.

Only beauty.

A kind, compassionate, loving, transcendent beauty.

Yan Xianchuan stood there admiring it for a while, she pretended to be a tourist, she even clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and prayed silently.

But unlike the other believers around her, she didn’t pray for peace.

Yan Xianchuan: “Mother Goddess, bless me to successfully blow up the church!”

After a while, Lu Mingqiu, who had gone to scout the terrain, came back. She saw her standing there, praying earnestly, her mouth moving silently, muttering something.

She read her lips, her expression suddenly became a little strange.

Lu Mingqiu: …

She was speechless.

Yan Xianchuan repeated it a few times, then opened her eyes. Seeing her figure, she put down her hands and walked over, “Have you finished looking around?”

“Yes, let’s go,” Lu Mingqiu nodded.

The main thing was to find some blind spots that the cameras couldn’t capture, such as the bathroom. They would hide a small, wirelessly controlled robot there. It would be the main force in their next action.

…

They had roast duck for lunch.

The duck meat was sliced into evenly sized pieces, it was placed in a plate with scallions. Next to it were thin, transparent round cakes.

Yan Xianchuan wanted to eat one of these rolls with every bite.

Life in Nanjin City was still peaceful, but this peace only lasted until tonight.

When night fell, the church closed its doors, and the believers inside returned to their homes. The button-shaped robot hidden in the toilet extended its six legs, it clicked and clacked across the ceiling, it came under the camera, extended a wire, wrapped it around the cable, and started to intercept the signal.

The two of them, who had been hiding with the explosives, rushed out of their hiding place as soon as they received Black’s message. They were like two nimble black cats.

“Only five minutes.”

Yan Xianchuan took out a laser cutter and cut a hole in the glass, making an arch-shaped passage for them to pass through. She gently placed the cut glass on the ground.

The two of them went in one after the other, they rushed in opposite directions, fixing the explosives they had prepared. After they finished on the first floor, they went to the third floor.

Lu Mingqiu was only responsible for the north side. Yan Xianchuan was faster, she finished setting the explosives on the south side, then she went to the central area and placed the explosives on a round stone altar.

The two of them returned to the entrance almost at the same time, they quietly ran out of the church, they didn’t go back to their original hiding place, they changed to another location.

Half a minute after they hid, there was a loud bang, like thunder splitting the sky, it was like heaven was pouring down its wrath.

The huge church collapsed, the walls shattered, dust scattered, boom, boom, it startled the people nearby.

A passerby ran over and looked, his mouth wide open, as if he could fit a light bulb in it.

“The church… the church collapsed! It’s not good!”

He ran away shouting, his face full of panic.

Yan Xianchuan changed out of her action suit and muttered, “Why is he so surprised? It’s the Mother Goddess who agreed to this.”

Lu Mingqiu laughed, she didn’t know what to say.

As soon as the church was blown up, people online started to control the public opinion, saying that it was Azberto’s revenge.

He had clearly said he was going to kill these people, but the church insisted on opposing him, they provided them with food, this was the consequence of opposing him.

This speculation was logical and well-founded, many people believed it.

Azberto wouldn’t personally come out to clarify.

After he released a video at the beginning of the war, he never made any statements online.

What made this speculation even more convincing was that the church in the neighboring city was also blown up.

It was still the two of them who did it.

After blowing up the second church, Lu Mingqiu marked the route on the map, she was going to blow up the third one.

On the other side, other Resistance members were carrying out organized and planned attacks on the church’s known bases.

The two organizations had been fighting each other for so many years, it was definitely false to say that they didn’t have any information about each other.

But they were also good at having multiple hiding places, so half of the bases they found were already abandoned, but there were still three left.

White led a team to attack one of them. His team only had three people, besides him, there was a speedster named Lightning, and an ice ability user, Raspberry.

With him there, casualties were inevitable.

White’s attack was very powerful, he went straight for the kill. The black hole almost destroyed everything in sight with a devastating force.

As for hatred for the church, he could be said to have the deepest.

Although White had joined the artificial human project and had a bionic body, so what? The spiritual connection between the two of them was gone. Having such a body was just a constant reminder of the fact that his brother was dead.

Killing people from the church wouldn’t bring him back to life, but it would allow White to vent his anger.

The more people he killed, the more obvious the smile on the gray-haired boy’s lips became.

“Enough, retreat,” Black said in the earpiece.

White ignored him, the black hole actually expanded a little.

“White, retreat!” His tone immediately became heavier, “Lightning, take him away.”

Lightning heard this and immediately put a blindfold on White. Ignoring his will, he held his neck with one hand and his waist with the other. He instantly moved him hundreds of meters away. Then he ran back to the spot and did the same thing to Raspberry.

His speed was blinding; the world around him seemed to slow to a crawl. A leaf, caught in the air, almost hung motionless before being disturbed by his movement, drifting slowly upwards.

After the two of them were sent into the car, White’s objection finally came out, “I don’t want to retreat!”

After saying this, he realized that he was already sitting in the car seat, and even his seatbelt was fastened.

White glared at Lightning, the latter ducked his head, he coughed violently, then stepped on the gas.

As for Raspberry, she looked straight ahead, pretending to be a wooden man. She turned her head to look out the window, silently chanting in her heart: You can’t see me, you can’t see me.
