The Unsurpassable Wailing Wall

After dealing with the Church and Isa, Chen Fan's mind turned to his mysterious neighbor, Xu Huai.

During his trip to the Library, he had obtained enough information from it and gained a deeper understanding of the truth about God.

So, after settling Gao Yuan and Isa, he went alone and knocked on the tightly shut door.

For some reason, the door remained unopened.

After asking his mother and the neighbors around, Chen Fan learned that Xu Huai had left two days ago, on the same day he went to the Church Library.

He hadn't returned since.

Chen Fan had only one comment on this: Damn it, that's a real scam!

Helpless, Chen Fan could only return home and begin to refine his subsequent plans.

According to the information he had previously obtained, escaping Varrela City was not an easy task.

The first obstacle was the Wailing Wall, which was said to be able to block anything from passing through.

"Climb over the Wailing Wall?"

"No, no, no, absolutely impossible." Isa shook her head repeatedly, denying Chen Fan's suggestion. "Absolutely impossible, the Wailing Wall cannot be climbed over."

"At least so far, I haven't heard of anyone who can climb over the Wailing Wall!"

Isa added another sentence.

Chen Fan fell into thought.

A wall that cannot be climbed over?

Does such a thing really exist in the world?

Could it really be as the simulation by One showed, that this wall is actually a giant dome enclosing the entire Varrela City?

If that were the case, his trouble would be immense – without powerful weapons, he couldn't possibly use human strength to fight against the Wailing Wall, could he?

No, he had to find time to see the true face of the Wailing Wall.

Perhaps sensing Chen Fan's thoughts, Isa continued, "The Wailing Wall is firmly controlled by the Church's Guards. Without permission, Deacons and Priests cannot even get close. Only Bishops and Archbishops can approach the Wailing Wall."

"Even the God Chosen can't get close?"

Gao Yuan, who had been silent, couldn't help but ask, "Logically speaking, the God Chosen should have a status equivalent to a Bishop in the Church."

"No."

Isa shook her head again. "If it were possible, the Bishop would have taken you to worship the miracle bestowed by the Goddess as soon as you became God Chosen."

"Don't forget, that is a miracle second only to Varrela City!"

Gao Yuan was speechless.

That was indeed the logic.

"When I was still a Deacon, I was fortunate enough to glimpse the Wailing Wall from afar."

Perhaps recalling the scene from back then, Isa's eyes were filled with longing and awe.

"It was an incredibly tall wall."

"After dusk, golden arcs and eerie blue flames could be seen at the top of the Wailing Wall!"

"The flames were beautiful. The Bishop said it was a miracle bestowed by the Goddess."

"These dim flames, which have been burning for hundreds of years, are far higher than the wall itself. They can incinerate all impurities in the world."

"This is also the fundamental reason why the Wailing Wall cannot be climbed over."

"Oh, and there's a buzzing sound near the Wailing Wall, it sounds just like..."

Isa furrowed her delicate brows, reached down and pulled up her priestly robe to her ankle, revealing a pair of entirely silver mechanical legs, then stood on her tiptoes and gently moved them.

A nearly imperceptible buzzing sound echoed in the room.

"Just like this sound, but much louder."

She lowered the black priestly robe she was holding and added softly.

Chen Fan rested his chin in his hand, contemplating Isa's words.

A wall shimmering with dim golden arcs and eerie blue flames...

This thing sounded like some kind of high-tech product.

[It might be a plasma barrier formed by high-temperature plasma, considered a rudimentary form of shield technology.]

[In the Human Alliance's technological classification, this technology belongs to Level 2 technology.]

One's serious voice sounded in Chen Fan's mind:

[From this perspective, this so-called Goddess is at least a Level 2 Civilization.]

'Sh-shield technology?!'

Chen Fan couldn't help but hold his breath: 'Does such technology really exist?'

[Of course.]

As she spoke, a holographic image automatically unfolded before Chen Fan's eyes.

A barrier with golden-yellow electric arcs and faint blue light flames slowly formed under the control of an unnamed machine, gradually twisting into a faint blue sphere glowing with a soft light.

Plasma shields are the most basic type of shield. They use a strong magnetic field to control high-temperature plasma to form a barrier, thereby resisting external attacks to a certain extent.

Their main defensive targets are small metal projectiles and charged particle beams.

Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully.

So, does that mean this Wailing Wall has a certain degree of resistance to nuclear radiation?

If it truly utilizes plasma barrier technology, then it does possess a certain defensive capability.

One was silent for a moment:

The above is merely a speculation made by this unit based on Isa's words.

Descriptions from intelligent beings often contain significant subjectivity. This unit suggests you find an opportunity to personally examine it.

Even just observing from a distance, the accuracy of the information obtained will be far higher than this.

Chen Fan nodded.

Even without One saying it, this unavoidable Wailing Wall was definitely part of his subsequent investigation plan.

The next day.

There was still one day until the Divine Descent Ceremony, and Xu Huai had still not appeared.

Chen Fan could only turn his attention to the Wailing Wall.

After discussing for a moment with Gao Yuan and Isa, the three of them headed towards the border of Varrela City early in the morning.

Varrela City was not large, but even so, it was close to noon when the three of them finally reached the edge of Varrela City.

Looking at the abruptly ending concrete road, Isa stopped: "Any further is the Wailing Wall."

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes, surveying the scene before him.

Unlike what he had expected, there weren't many buildings in the edge area of Varrela City. Instead, there was a rather dense jungle.

Tall trees and thick canopies formed a natural barrier, not only obscuring the Wailing Wall behind the jungle but also concealing the traces of the Church Guards within.

At the same time, the dense jungle with no paths also gave a psychological hint to leave this place.

It was even a natural sound insulation zone, completely blocking out the humming sound emitted by the Wailing Wall when it was operating—standing at the edge of the jungle, Chen Fan could only hear a faint, intermittent hum.

It was indeed a good method.

Chen Fan nodded inwardly, letting out a sigh in his heart.

He looked up and surveyed the jungle in front of him, then turned to look at Isa: "This place... it seems like you can't see the Wailing Wall, right?"

"Follow me."

Isa said softly, stepping off the concrete road and walking forward along the edge of the jungle: "As long as you don't go deep into the Wailing Forest, the Church Guards won't discover you. Similarly, they won't take any unnecessary actions."

"They are only responsible for guarding the Wailing Wall."
