Vol 2 Chapter 31

Esther’s life has changed completely since she entered the darkroom specially prepared for the saints.

At the beginning, Esther’s concept of omega was only “holy one” and “white robe”. After entering the dark room, she understood the pity of Teacher Nancy. The teacher said that because of the sins committed by the first omega, every omega would have to endure the temptation of the devil once a quarter after that. The book only strongly said that you should stay away from the omega in the period of being tempted by the devil, but it didn’t say what the omega was at that time. feel.

It was very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, hot and itchy, like ants crawling on my body. Esther was **** to prevent her from being tempted by the devil to succeed in doing scandalous things that violated the precepts of the holy ones. She was drenched all over, burned like a high fever, and suffered alone in a dark room without windows. A holy man of her age fed her and watered her every day.

She doesn’t have awakening abilities, but it’s normal for omega not to have abilities.

The smell of an omega in estrus will cause a commotion, so of course it cannot be leaked out. Everything that happened during this period embodies the original sin of Omega, which shames human beings, and must be well hidden, so that the Lord in the sky cannot see it. A holy person is pure and flawless, and abandons all filth and embarrassment in the dark room. After going out, he must be more chaste and more pious to repay the original sin of becoming an omega.

Even where there are only omega, they all wear long robes, which makes them walk gracefully, unable to make indecent gestures (such as brisk walking, jumping), and spend several times more time than ordinary apprentices taking care of themselves . It doesn’t matter, the holy man doesn’t have much to do, and spends most of his time praying.

The holy ones got up very early, and the time of prayer in a day added up to nearly eight hours. When praying, they must kneel on the ground, straighten their upper body, hum and recite continuously, and the rest and drinking time in the middle are strictly fixed. There was a saint among the saints of St. Andrew’s Theological Seminary. She prayed continuously for three days and finally saw the light of the kingdom of heaven. God absolved her sins and took her directly to the kingdom of heaven. Her holy body is kept in an auditorium of the college. She wears a gold crown on her head, a silver veil covering her flesh-and-flesh skull, and a gemstone ring on each finger. She is very honorable and the pride of the whole college.

“Aren’t you tired?” At first, Esther, who had just finished praying for a day, asked stupidly. The holy man named Nicole who had taken care of her in the darkroom didn’t speak, but shook his head with a disturbed expression on his face.

A holy man in front suddenly turned his head. He looked only one or two years older than Esther, but his face was so gloomy. 【How hard it is to serve the Lord! 】He “said” fiercely with gestures,【Even if it’s hard work, it’s a sin we should bear! Omega did not come to this world for pleasure, we must endure the suffering of this life before we can qualify to enter the kingdom of God! ] Esther was unable to complete her half-taken courses in Herbology, Architecture (which she loved), etc., because “they are not things that a holy man should worry about”. God divided man into alpha, beta, and omega. There must be a reason for doing so. Alphas do what alpha does, and omega does what omega does. Apart from deliberate interpretation, the only course that the saints have to learn is the code of the saints. According to the teacher of the saints, they are born with more sins than others, and they need more precepts to reflect the sincerity of atonement.

“But…” Esther was about to say something, and she felt that a voice had sounded in her head. It was Ann’s voice, mocking how stupid this statement was. However, Ann is not by my side, but the teacher who is approaching very soon. The other party frowned, indiscriminately punishing Esther for cleaning the chapel on the grounds that she was disrespectful to God.

The auditorium is very large, and according to the rules, when cleaning, you must hold a rag in your hand, kneel on the ground and wipe it a little bit.

“I’m not being disrespectful to God,” Esther muttered.

[You speak common things with a mouth that should have spoken prayers. 】The teacher in white robe said in priest sign language.

In the whole area where the holy ones were active, no voice was heard. Perhaps it was because the clothes of the saints were inconvenient for conversation at first, but it has become the iron rule of the saints of Alingu since some time ago: the mouth of the saints can only be used to praise God, and the only way to talk about the secular world is to use priest sign language . The saints of Alingu are proud of it.

Esther’s knee swelled up at night, and she cried once in the quilt because of the pain. The next day she was reported under the name of “resentment for the punishment”. Six people in the same room did not know who reported her.

[Stop doing this again, be obedient and pray hard. 】Nicole gestured with her, probably because she had only differentiated into an omega two months earlier than her, and Nicole felt sympathy for Esther.

“Holy ones in other places can speak.” Esther whispered, she was stubborn for some reason, but she refused to gesture, “The omega in our family who are not combined can also go to the street, my cousin I really want to go to a monastery to be a saint, a saint doesn’t need to marry. She is the most beautiful, I must not know that a saint can’t show her face.”

[Holy ones are not the unchaste omega in the secular world. 】To the roommate on the bed, she felt a kind of pride of superiority, 【Those unruly and lowly omegas will go to **** after death. 】”But, if everyone keeps chaste in order to go to heaven, wouldn’t human beings be extinct?” What An once said came out of Esther’s mind, and she blurted out.

Everyone fell silent.

[There are also betas…] Said hesitantly to the bed, probably thinking of the fertility rate of betas, and changed the words, [If all omegas can keep virginity, God will definitely send blessings and let the righteous be conceived virginally. 】She gestured faster and faster, as if she had convinced herself.

Esther was not persuaded, and Ann’s voice sounded again. “Virgin conception? God knows which kind of lover has good physical strength to climb into the monastery,” she looked at the textbook boredly, and muttered, “These people really believe this? Really? If God is willing to work part-time Songzi, why divide six genders when creating humans? There is no gender difference and X life to waste time, spaceships can be made.”

Although I don’t understand many places, I always feel that it makes sense.

The days go by quickly and long, and the most important thing is that every day is similar. Morning prayers, afternoon prayers, evening prayers, meals, classes… The youngest holy man is only ten years old, but like everyone here, he doesn’t have the vivacity of his age. Compared with this place, other places in the seminary can be said to be full of vigor.

This room is for the last of the saints, Esther at the end, next to Nicole on the left, and there are four empty beds behind her. Everyone looks numb every day, and they don’t show any expression when they take off their clothes and hats to sleep. The busy life makes them have no spare time to think about it. But the busier Esther was, the more thoughts were on her mind.

The commandments of the saints and Ann’s voice quarreled.

Anna the Goddess. It wasn’t the first day that Sullivan had contradicted the teachers. Most of the time Esther listened in a daze. What the teacher said is correct, and what His Excellency the Divine Favored One said is also correct. What should I do if there is a conflict? Well, I must be too stupid to understand the deep meaning of An’s words! Esther thought optimistically, as long as she remembered to fill in what the teachers said during the assessment. She lived like this every day until she became a holy one.

Esther seemed to grow up all of a sudden, and many things that she didn’t understand before suddenly became clear, like seeing the sun through the clouds.

God loves the world, but does He love the shepherds more?

God loves the world, but does he love alpha more?

God forgives the world, but not the omega?

If this is the case…

if it is like this…

The quarrel between the two sides turned into meaningless white noise, and the heresy in the name of the orthodox was in the head against the orthodox teaching of the Holy See. In this noisy silence, Esther heard her own voice. A treacherous thought rose from the mind of the Holy One, and she heard her voice say—

How can such a God be called omniscient, omnipotent, fair and selfless?

Esther blinked at the ceiling with her big brown eyes open, her hands clenched with sweat.

=============================

It has been half a month since An Xu walked into the territory of the Holy One again.

At that time, Nancy said that the isolation of the holy people was to protect them, but Anxu felt that this was completely nonsense. “Then why don’t you lock up Alpha?” An Xu said, “If the gems are robbed, we all know to blame the thieves instead of the beauty of the gems, let alone the saints are all alive!”

“I don’t think it’s reasonable.” Nancy sighed, “But the rules and customs have been like this for so many years. If you break it rashly, you will only cause trouble. You are a divinely favored person, so you don’t worry about trouble, but what about Esther? ”

“Until the trash habit is broken, it will always be trash.” An Xu basically didn’t listen, and said to himself, “I’m going to bring Esther out.”

She broke her promise.

The first time An Xu was stopped by the guards outside, non-violent and non-cooperative, he didn’t talk back or move away, An Xu tried to summon Thunder for a long time, but the guards in front of him didn’t even feel like they were being electrocuted. Dreams are just so annoying. Sometimes your wishes come true, and sometimes you can’t breathe because of various reasons, and it’s useless to worry.

The second time, Anxu found a shortcut, found a place where no one was around, climbed the wall and entered the residence of the Holy Man. She had planned to go into the village quietly and shoot, but when she caught Esther, she left silently. She didn’t expect to find herself in a whimsical way when she got there: all the saints were dressed exactly the same, had no faces, and floated around like a bird. Only white ghosts. It is completely impossible to identify by body shape and patterns on the clothes. An Xu tilted his head and looked at it for a long time, determined not to startle the snake, but to find a directory or something and come back another day.

The third time Anshu found Esther’s name on the list, but he didn’t know the division of the dormitory where the Holy One lived. She lost her patience, and felt that her recent meditation seemed to have reached a bottleneck—in other words, it had reached the edge, and it seemed that she could push the lid open to upgrade to a level. So if you don’t try, you don’t try, she came up with a big one, and tried her best to activate her abilities, trying to explode like every protagonist.

Then she passed out after a long absence and was in a coma for half a month.

Today, An Xu has adjusted his mentality and regards this level as an RPG for decryption rather than monster slashing and upgrading. She honestly found out Esther’s location and timetable with a set of gecko skills, and didn’t get in until the end of evening prayer. She wanted to enter the room she was looking for, so she deliberately chose a path that no one walked, when suddenly she heard a small voice beside the path.

It was Esther’s voice.
