Twisted Dreams-Chapter 263 - 230: Fallen Angel
Nighttime, Central Apartment.
Jessica and Arlan have been crazy for quite a while.
Ever since she came to New City, this was the first time she turned off her phone, ignoring the company turmoil.
Jessica woke up slowly, glancing at the sleeping Arlan beside her, her face filled with happiness.
Lina was the only one missing.
If she brings Lina into this world, will everything return to its 'otherworldly' appearance?
Jessica felt a little hungry, quietly put on her clothes, and walked out of the apartment.
She wanted to buy some food; only when Arlan is full can he have the strength to fight and bring Lina to this world quickly.
Jessica went down to the pizza shop, ordered a large pizza, and sat in a corner waiting for the staff to pack it.
A woman from Xia Country came and sat in front of Jessica.
The woman from Xia Country was very beautiful, even by European and American standards, she was a beauty.
Having met Li Yang, Jessica had a sense of reverence for people from Xia Country.
A mysterious Eastern land, a magical yellow race.
Jessica nodded friendly to the woman from Xia Country.
The woman from Xia Country smiled faintly:
"You're very lucky."
Jessica was taken aback:
"Lucky? Do we know each other?"
The woman from Xia Country spoke softly:
"I don't know you, but I know you're favored by the divine."
Jessica shook her head:
"Divine? I don't believe in gods."
Jessica thought the divine mentioned by the Xia Country woman was the God who created the world in seven days.
The Xia Country woman gazed at Jessica with a half-smile:
"Haven't you already met the divine?"
Saying this, the Xia Country woman stood up and walked outside.
Jessica stared at the Xia Country woman's back, stunned.
Have I met the divine?
Why didn't I know?
Suddenly, Jessica realized something.
She had experienced a mysterious event.
Could the mysterious man in a black suit and black trench coat be the divine?
"Please wait!"
Jessica called out to the Xia Country woman.
She wanted to know what really happened to her.
The staff arrived and placed the packed pizza on the table:
"Here's your pizza."
Jessica picked up the pizza and chased after the Xia Country woman.
...
Jessica kept chasing the Xia Country woman.
No matter how she chased, no matter how fast she was, the Xia Country woman always walked calmly a mere ten meters ahead.
Jessica saw the woman heading for the apartment elevator and glanced at the elevator's display, showing the top-floor rooftop.
Jessica desperately pressed the elevator next to her and took it to the top floor.
The elevator doors opened, and Jessica reached the rooftop bathed in warm yellow lights.
The rooftop's view of the distant city was dazzlingly bright with neon lights.
Jessica stepped out of the elevator, looking around.
The woman from Xia Country was holding a bottle of beer, lazily leaning on the railing, gazing at New City's night scenery.
Jessica had been chasing the Xia Country woman, yet upon seeing her, didn't know what to say.
Many words, many doubts were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
The woman from Xia Country glanced back:
"I'm Chen Yuqi."
Jessica pondered for a moment:
"Jessica."
Chen Yuqi turned away, and Jessica felt a bit awkward.
Jessica's lips moved, and she quietly asked:
"Do you know what's happening to me?
Do you know what this is all about?"
Chen Yuqi replied softly:
"Enlightenment.
This is divine guidance for mere mortals.
That divine loves showing people the way.
You're very lucky to have received his teachings."
Huaqi has many different beliefs.
There are those divines from the Bible, and other miscellaneous ones.
Those gods claim to help people by offering health and wealth to believers.
The legends of those gods healing followers or granting wealth seem superficial compared to what Jessica experienced.
As Chen Yuqi said, the divine Jessica encountered was guiding her path.
Jessica once heard a saying from Xia Country.
To know the way in the morning and die content in the evening.
She did not understand it before; after the dream, she understood.
Chen Yuqi continued gazing at the scene, sipping her beer lightly:
"Divine favored one, do you wish to worship the divine who has helped you?"
Jessica promptly said:
"I would, of course I would!"
There are many fanatical worshippers, but who can truly see the divine?
And who, indeed, can receive help from the divine?
That divine did not give her a penny, nor did he cure her stomach ailment, but he revealed the meaning of life to her.
This is true divinity!
Compared to those gods who lure people with wealth, aren't they somewhat like enchanting devils?
Chen Yuqi put down her beer, turned around, and smilingly extended her hand:
"The Seven Commandments Association welcomes you to join."
Jessica reached her hand out blankly.
The Seven Commandments Association?
Is the Seven Commandments Association the organization that worships that divine?
Jessica quietly asked:
"I'm unsure if I should ask.
Could I know, the divine who guided me, which divine is he?
Does he have a divine name?"
Chen Yuqi clasped her hands:
"Death God."
Jessica was utterly shocked.
Death God?
The Death God is feared in any legend.
Evidently, the legendary Death God is completely different from the real one.
The Death God she met today was like an extraordinary sage.
Jessica raised her head to look at Chen Yuqi:
"And you are?"
Jessica smiled, and under Jessica's amazed gaze, she slowly opened a pair of black wings at her waist:
"I serve the Death God, Sixth Apostle, leader of the Seven Commandments Association."
Jessica's jaw dropped.
Under the awe of the Death God's name, witnessing a Fallen Angel with wings, the visual impact was indescribable.
Jessica couldn't help but want to kneel, like other followers, to perform a ceremonial bow. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Chen Yuqi held Jessica's arm:
"Before death, all are equal; there's no need to kneel before me.
Just kneel before my master Death God and his divine image.
For everything in the world must revere the divine, revere death."
Jessica nodded slowly:
"I understand now."
This is a true devotee of the divine.
Jessica asked:
"What can I do for my master Death God, for the Seven Commandments Association?"
Chen Yuqi smiled:
"The Seven Commandments Association wants to spread the faith of the Death God in Huaqi; you should be able to help."
The Seven Commandments Association spreads faith in Xia Country through the internet.
The Seven Commandments Association has its own live-streaming software.
The believers in the live-stream, in shared short videos, are constantly promoting the faith of the Death God, preaching the culture of death.
In Huaqi, the leader of live-streaming and short videos is TT Short Video.
And Jessica is the operational director of TT Short Video.
If Jessica can help the Seven Commandments Association, their streaming software can appear prominently.
Huaqi is likely one of the few places where the Seven Commandments Association's streaming software can openly appear.
The speed of faith dissemination by the Seven Commandments Association will be faster than in Xia Country.
Because Huaqi is a place of excessive freedom.
As long as the Seven Commandments Association doesn't go too far, doesn't violate public order laws, it won't be labeled a cult.
