It's a hell game, who can still be a human being?

Chapter 258 S or M, that is the question

Chapter 258 S or M, that is the question
The Church of Agony, located in the center of Ate, was as quiet and deserted as usual.

The once glorious Church of Agony is now only left with this church.

The reason why this church still exists is because the Blood Healing Church replaced the Church of Pain with almost no effort, so there is no interest or need to wipe it out.

The base of the Blood Healing Church is not in the center of Ate, but in the church town west of Ate.

According to a clergyman of the Blood Healing Church, even if the Blood Healing Church did not appear, the Church of Suffering would have destroyed itself sooner or later.

"Because their doctrine itself is leading them to destruction."

The clergyman said so.

But tonight, a group of people appeared near the Church of Agony.

A middle-aged man, a woman and three little girls were pushing a cart and moving forward with difficulty.

A tall young man followed leisurely behind with his hands behind his back, singing a song that no one could understand.

The attitude is so leisurely, as if he is taking a walk.

On a cart piled with potatoes, a man wearing only underwear was lying on it. His body twitched from time to time, and it was unclear whether he was frozen or having a nightmare.

A huge calico cat was squatting on his back, staring at the back of his head, eager to try something.

This group of people is naturally Liu Zheng and An Ke's family.

After crossing the lower half of the city, they finally reached their destination, the Church of Agony.

The church is surrounded by a thick iron fence with extremely sharp spikes on top.

The three-story chapel painted white is located inside the iron fence. Outside is a garden with colorful flowers, looking quiet and peaceful.

However, Anko and his wife Marian looked at the iron door of the church with fear.

There were only three little girls who were ignorant and fearless, pointing at the flowers in the garden.

"Why, is there danger in here?"

Liu Zheng looked at their expressions and asked puzzledly.

"It's not dangerous, but the requirements for entering the Church of Pain are quite strict."

Anko replied.

"any request?"

"Anyone who enters the church must undergo the baptism of pain. The form of the baptism of pain varies depending on the month."

Anko said.

"So what is this month?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"This month, it should be acupuncture. At least five for adults and at least one for children."

Anko thought for a moment and said.

"Is it enough to be baptized once, or do you have to do it every time you enter a church?"

“Every time you enter a church you have to be baptized.”

Anko looked bitter.

"My goodness, if it were a devout believer, it would turn into a hornet's nest in a month."

"That's right. So when the Church of Pain was still thriving, there were believers dying from excessive blood loss every month."

Anko nodded.

"No wonder the Church of Pain can't beat the Church of Blood Healing. Not to mention that they can heal diseases, even if they can't do anything else, they are still better than this church that brings harm to its own followers."

Liu Zheng complained.

"It is said that the teachings of the Church of Suffering were not so outrageous before, but later on, for some unknown reason, they became extreme."

Anko said.

"Are you sure this church is safe? Don't let your wife and children be bled as soon as we leave."

he reminded.

"That won't happen. As long as you pass the painful baptism of entering, the subsequent ceremonies will all depend on your willingness."

Anko explained.

"It seems that you understand the situation very well."

Liu Zheng raised his eyebrows.

"If you want to survive in a city like this, you have to be more prepared."

Anko sighed, then walked forward and pulled the rope on the iron door.

The device connected to the interior of the church was activated, and a faint bell sound came from inside the church.

Soon, the windows on the second floor of the church were opened.

An old woman in a crimson cloth robe stuck her head out and looked down at them condescendingly.

"Who are you? Why are you ringing the church bells?"

the old woman asked.

"Brother Fili, I'm Anko from Anko Tavern, and this is my family. I came here to make a donation last month, do you remember me?"

Anke tilted his face up as much as possible so that the old woman could see him clearly.

"Ah, yes, yes, I remember you, Mr. Anko."

The old woman really remembered him, and her tone became much warmer.

"So, what are you doing here at church?"

"My home is no longer safe, so I brought my family to the church to seek shelter, is that okay?" Anko said bluntly.

"Oh, of course. The church certainly welcomes devout and generous believers like you. But you must know that everyone must abide by the church rules."

The old woman glanced at the pile of supplies on the cart and spoke.

"Of course."

Anko said quickly.

The old woman nodded and closed the window.

Not long after, the church door was opened.

A man with a pointed horn helmet on his head and an iron mask on his face walked out.

He was wearing the same crimson robe as the old woman, but the difference was that his robe was stuck with many thumbtacks pointing inside.

With every step he took, the pins pierced his skin, staining his robe with blood.

The helmeted man slowly walked to the iron gate, then pulled out a large copper key from his belt and prepared to unlock the door.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked at the hunter on the cart.

"Cang! Cang!"

He tapped his helmet twice with the key, and the old woman leaned half of her body out of the door.

"You brought a hunter?"

she questioned.

"Yes, he was mentally ill and wanted to attack us. In order not to cause more trouble, we had to knock him out and take him with us."

Anko explained.

"Has he transformed into a beast?"

the old woman asked.

Without waiting for Anko to answer, the helmeted man shook his head.

"Then let them in. Anyone who is willing to embrace pain will be protected by our Lord."

The old woman thought for a moment and said.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Fili."

An Ke hurriedly thanked him.

"Don't thank me, this is the mercy of my Lord."

The old woman shook her head.

With her consent, the helmeted man opened the iron gate.

Anke thanked him again, then pushed the cart into the house with his family.

The helmeted man no longer looked at the hunter, but stared at Liu Zheng closely, with some confusion in his eyes.

Liu Zheng remained calm under his gaze and even raised his tentacles to greet him.

However, the Doumao people did not respond.

"Before entering the church, you must first be baptized with pain. This month's baptism is the blessing of acupuncture. Who among you will receive it first?"

the old woman asked.

"I'll go first."

Anko gritted his teeth and walked to the door.

"it is good."

The old woman nodded.

The helmeted man who had closed the iron door walked over, pulled out a bloody thumbtack from his robe, and stabbed it into Anko's arm.

Anko groaned, but held back from screaming out.

After all, he is in front of his wife and daughter, and he still has to maintain his dignity as a husband and father.

"Don't be patient. The cry of pain is the good news that our Lord has sent through your mouth."

The old woman said.

Hearing her words, Liu Zheng on the side had a strange expression on his face.

This Church of Suffering doesn't seem to be much more serious than the Church of Healing with Blood.
