Chapter 384 Instead of praying to that statue, believe in me!\\r
Europe, Vatican.
As an independent country with the smallest land area in the world and only 500 permanent residents, this country has almost no right to speak in world politics.
But in terms of religion.
This is the most sacred place in the hearts of all believers of the world's largest religion!
Peter's Basilica is the largest cathedral in the world.
There are countless devout pilgrims who come here every year.
To put it bluntly, here is nothing less than the purest place in the world.
However, in this world where there are only legends and no gods.
No matter how devout the faith is, it will eventually be shrouded in darkness at night...
"clang……"
At midnight, the bell struck.
St. Peter's Basilica is still brightly lit.
Many pilgrims sat cross-legged in the square, holding Bibles in their mouths.
In the small churches, there are also bewildered people who have just been puzzled by the priest, sitting in front of the huge statues and praying.
At this moment, in an inconspicuous little church, a shabby mother was crying with the priest about the condition of the sleeping child beside her.
"Father, I beg you to kick me and pray to the Lord, save my child."9
"He's very uncomfortable, he really can't hold on anymore, woo woo woo..."
The mother touched her son's head, which had lost all of his hair due to chemotherapy, and tears welled up in her eyes.
The priest also touched the boy's face, sighed and said helplessly: "I will convey your prayer to the Lord. 99
"However... this lovely child is destined to no longer be able to stay in this world."
"All we can do is baptize him to make sure he goes to heaven after he dies and enjoys peace and joy, amen...35
"No! No!" The mother shook her head and grabbed her son's hand tightly.
"Father, I beg you!"
"I don't want my son to die, save him!
After saying that, she turned to look at the huge statue in front of her, and while clasping her fists in prayer, she said, "Almighty Lord, please! I beg you! 35
"As long as I can save my child, I am willing to give my all together... woo woo woo.
“Anna!!!”
The priest suddenly frowned coldly.
"How can you say such blasphemous words in a holy church!35
"Pay the price, make a deal, that's what only a demon would do! You... how dare you say such things here? 35
When she heard this, Anna was also stunned.
"Sorry Father, I was in a hurry just now..."
"Get out! Get me out!" The priest pointed in the direction of the church door, trembling with anger.
"People like you who blaspheme the Lord are not welcome here!"
"In that case, you'd better go and tell the devil, and see if the devil will save your son!"
"J..."
A sneer sounded suddenly.
Both mother and son and the priest were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned their heads to look at the shadow of the church lights.
In the shadows, I saw a man with an oriental face and a black trench coat.
"When did you come in!" The priest frowned, his face a little ugly.
"The church here can only come in one person at a time to explain and pray, and people who do not follow the rules of the church are not welcome here!
The man stood up, ignoring the priest, and went straight to the mother and son.
"You just said that if you can save your child, you are willing to give everything, right?"
"..."
"Very good, then you don't have to pray to that statue. After all, even if you pray again, the result will not change, right?"
what?"
"
As soon as these words came out, the mother was dumbfounded.
The priest next to him almost cracked in situ!
"What nonsense are you guys talking about!"
"I warn you that it is against the law of the Vatican to disrespect the Lord here!"
"Apologize! Apologize to me immediately! 99
"Otherwise the Lord will not..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man frowned and looked back at him.
"Shh!"
Strange to say.
The man just made a silent motion, and the priest suddenly clucked his mouth, unable to make any sound.
[..."
The priest kept opening and closing his mouth, and his eyes became more and more frightened.
What's even more terrifying is that when he faced this strange situation and wanted to fetch holy water, he found that he couldn't even move his body!
"Okay, it's quiet now.
The man smiled and turned his head again to look at the mother and son.
"Your wish is to cure your son's disease, isn't it?
The mother nodded subconsciously: "Yes..."
"Are you willing to pay anything for this?
"..."
"very good."
The smile on the man's face grew brighter.
"I can save him, but it requires ten years of your life, plus... your faith.
"Life? Faith? (Promise good)"
"That's right." The man looked at his mother and the sleeping boy in his arms with burning eyes.
"Cure his disease, and your lifespan will be reduced by ten years."
"And you have to believe in me devoutly, just like you believed in that cold statue over there before.
Mother glanced at the statue in the center of the church, and then at the man in front of her.
After hesitating, she looked down at the child in her arms and muttered to herself, "I pray to the Lord every day, but the Lord never hears it. 99
"Now, my child is going to die, and still no miracles have happened."
The mother slowly released her hand, and the Bible fell to the ground with a snap.
She looked up at the man shrouded in shadow in front of her.
"I am willing to agree to the conditions you said.
