Chapter 3 (2/2)
The Seven Deadly Sins!
Weiss suddenly realized. Everyone had something similar to the contents of these seven major crimes, but there were some details that needed to be carefully analyzed. Which crime Elena corresponded to? There were also people that didn’t match at all. He was an invader and shouldn’t be included in these six people, so there must be something that he had missed.
However, he could only ask for the details. At the thought of this, he saw the priest smiling at him.
“I have some questions. Can you wait for me to finish asking before going in to repent? My esteemed priest.”
The priest was a little surprised but it wasn’t against the rules, so he waved.
“You only have ten minutes.”
Seeing that he was so reasonable, Weiss couldn’t help but be surprised. But now was not the time to dwell on that. He had to quickly figure out what he didn’t understand.
He went first to where the man had been dragged. There was nothing on the floor but a pool of blood and an old marriage certificate soaked in blood. It must have been the man’s name, Michael Sun Tobias and a woman’s name, Toby Judith.
Seeing this, Weiss was a little surprised. He had seen this name before. A few years ago, the marriage partner of the daughter of the richest man in the country seemed to be this name but the daughter of the richest man did not seem to have this name.
The sequence of a story formed in his mind.
The first man corresponds to laziness, the second miner corresponds to gluttony, the third woman corresponds to jealousy, the fourth soldier…
What does a soldier correspond to? Weiss was a little confused. According to what the soldier said, he should not have committed any crime.
Thinking of this, he walked to the soldier and asked,
“Hello, Mr. Soldier. I would like to ask if you were the only one who survived?”
The soldier got impatient.
“Why are you asking so many questions? I’m the only one who survived. Are you satisfied?”
Weiss had some speculations but he couldn’t ask the details now.
If nothing went wrong, a soldier should be greedy.
The fifth Elena, although somewhat reluctant to think that way, was probably lust.
There were still two people left. He looked at the monster in the darkness. There seemed to be a few repetitive alphabet sounds coming: L, K, I.
Could monsters be considered humans?
“Ten minutes is up!” The priest did not give Weiss any more time to think. He shouted angrily in the confessional.
“Father, I don’t need to repent. I know how to be forgiven.”
The priest came out of the confessional and said in a disgruntled tone.
“Only the Father in the Heavens can talk about forgiveness. You’re just a piece of trash, how would you know about forgiveness? Hurry up and repent or what awaits you in hell will be endless torment.”
Weiss sneered.
“Haven’t you been on trial here, Father?” He said. The church was torn open and a towering mountain shrouded in divine light rose up from behind the priest. Angels danced among them, singing the Lord’s name and passing on the Lord’s praise. On the highest peak of the mountain, two archangels flanked the throne as if waiting for someone to arrive. A staircase of light extended from his feet to the throne. Weiss stepped heavily onto the steps and finally sat on the throne.
The people in the church were terrified and anxious. The black-robed priest was even more nervous. The monster was also squirming restlessly.
Weiss was high on the throne and Michael the Archangel put on his crown for him. Gabriel handed him his cane. Weiss was overwhelmed. The power within him told him that he was omnipotent. At this moment, he was like God. He was almost intoxicated by this omnipotent pleasure. But then he realized that he was in a dream. He couldn’t help but feel a little regret. Then he looked into the church and an imperious voice resounded.
“The trial begins now.”
