Chapter 92: Sins Under Fire
There are many charred areas in the entire church school, which should be traces of fire, but now the church is intact. Richard knows that this is the memory of the dead souls. Many people have died here, and the resentment of the dead souls has turned this place into a land of dead souls.
The environment of the Land of the Dead is close to the lower planes. It does not exist in the main material world and only appears under certain conditions. It is somewhat similar to the existence of earthbound spirits.
At this moment, Richard suddenly heard a burst of shouting and cursing. Several thin children were whipped by a tall white man. Dozens of children who looked similar to those children were watching silently in the corridor.
Soon these children were driven into the classroom, and all of them, without exception, were shackled with heavy shackles. Then these children were forced to learn a new language, forced to work, whipped, and punished with various torture instruments.
Richard knew very well that all these people in front of him were ghosts, or the memory of their souls. This was the most profound thing they remembered before they died, the 'memory of their souls' condensed from their resentment, fear, anger, etc.
Every day, they would repeat this torture, and then start over at midnight, and then repeat everything in front of them again. If no one intervened, they would continue until one day, the space of this land of the dead collapsed, or until the end of time.
Richard came to the second floor, where there were more than a dozen rooms. He soon found a torn notebook in one of the rooms.
"Today, three indigenous children were sent to the town to learn transformation. According to the regulations, they need to live here for ten years and complete a thorough transformation. George has already started to cut their ridiculous hair and clean their dirty bodies. Next, they will forget their ignorant language and learn the Lord's language and faith. Here they will learn how to become qualified workers and maids."
"Oh my God, these ignorant, dirty, and stubborn natives actually dared to run away. They must be punished. At the same time, they need to wear shackles and study every day until they are sure that they will not run away. This is their punishment!"
"Today, the school accepted another thirteen indigenous children. It seems that our transformation must continue. These lowly and stupid indigenous people must change their backward, ignorant, and dirty habits, give up believing in those false gods, and move from ignorance and backwardness to a truly civilized era."
".Today, seven natives did not complete their homework and must go to the punishment room to receive punishment. At the same time, the labor of all the natives will be doubled. This is a punishment for them."
"If language cannot change them, then use a whip. David is right. The whip is indeed very effective, but I think it can be faster. You can try branding irons and needles. I am planning to compile my teaching experience into a book."
".Two natives died today. They can be buried behind the church and bathed in the light of the Lord. This is a blessing for them and they should be grateful."
"Last night, several natives tried to escape, but were caught by Jill. Now they are going to be hung in the playground as a warning to the public."
"The government funding has been reduced again. It seems that we have to accept more indigenous people to get more funding, or let these stupid indigenous people work in factories to make money. This is a good idea. I am really a genius."
There are many burn marks and blood stains on the mottled diary, and the words are full of the blood and tears of those children.
On the wall of the room he found a list of more than 500 students. However, the total number of rooms in the school was less than 70. Excluding those for church personnel, the 500 or so indigenous students had to sleep in more than 20 small rooms.
Leaving the room, Richard discovered a large number of bodies that had been tortured. These bodies had been dead for no more than three hours, and their clothes were out of place here. They should be residents of the town outside. It was obvious that the souls in this church school had inflicted everything they had endured on these people.
It was already late at night and a ball of fire was rising. The priests opened the shackles of the indigenous children and ordered them to put out the fire, but this time the indigenous children did not obey their orders.
Hundreds of children attacked the priests crazily and set fire to them. Soon, the priests turned into burning skeletons and wailed in the sea of fire. The indigenous children were also buried in the sea of fire. Richard watched everything in front of him silently. Soon, the flames rose. One by one, the twisted ghosts with flames burning on their bodies wailed. Their humanity had been swallowed by darkness and turned into evil spirits condensed by hatred, resentment, and malice. They were full of resentment towards all life.
——【Dead Soul Immobilization Technique! 】
A bit of arcane light flickered at his fingertips, and the next second, golden light swept in all directions with Richard as the center, instantly covering the entire space. All the vengeful spirits, evil spirits, and evil spirits were all frozen in place. A gust of cold wind blew by, as if countless people were crying.
——【Soul Binding Technique! 】
The golden silk threads formed a large net that bound all the vengeful spirits. No vengeful spirits in the entire space could escape from this giant net.
"You have already completed your revenge. You should not rest in pain!"
——【Soul shock! 】
The powerful soul shock instantly hit the ghosts. The struggling ghosts let out a wail, and then their bodies began to blur gradually. One after another, human figures broke free from the twisted shadows.
These figures were all indigenous children who died here. The oldest of them were no more than twelve or thirteen years old. They looked around in a daze, as if they heard something, saluted slightly to Richard, and then turned into gray spots of light and dissipated in the wind.
These are the last bits of soul light in their souls and the last bits of light in their hearts. When the light spots dissipate, all the soul light returns to the source sea.
Wow!
Hundreds of black crystals fell. These were soul crystals condensed from the final essence of the soul.
Richard waved his hand lightly, and all the soul crystals flew up and came in front of him. Most of these soul crystals were intermediate soul crystals, and only a small number were high-level soul crystals.
Richard picked up one of the crystals and examined it. As he held the black-purple soul crystal, he seemed to hear an ancient Indian ballad, with a sense of yearning, attachment and sadness in the song. This was the last trace of the soul.
——[Attachment of the Spirit of Vengeance (Advanced Soul Crystal)].
Richard put away the soul crystal with an expressionless face. These soul crystals were undoubtedly precious, but he felt a little sad at this moment.
The final despair and attachment of these children could even infect Richard's spirit.
