Chapter 18: Repentance Miracle
Lu Yuanming had many speculations about the Colorless Light Particles. So far, it had been confirmed that Colorless Light Particles could create tangible objects. Moreover, these tangible objects could truly be eaten and used, effectively becoming real things that souls in the afterlife could touch and consume, rather than illusions or phantoms.
Lu Yuanming himself certainly didn't believe in superstitious nonsense. While he wasn't a staunch Marxist-Leninist, as a young man born and raised in New Z Country, he genuinely didn't believe in gods or ghosts. Even if he were to die, see his soul, and arrive in the afterlife, he would believe there was a scientific explanation that science hadn't yet reached.
If he were to use a scientific hypothesis, Lu Yuanming would believe that the White Light Particles from killing monsters were components of the soul, allowing him to absorb them and strengthen his soul. As for why others couldn't absorb them, perhaps it was because he was technically still alive?
Regarding the Colorless Light Particles, Lu Yuanming speculated that they might be formed from thoughts like belief, faith, or wishes. However, he couldn't explain why mere thoughts from the living could transform into various tangible objects in the afterlife.
Here, Lu Yuanming was attempting to further develop the Colorless Light Particles.
Everyone watched as Lu Yuanming placed his palm on the gunshot wound of the MXG Person. Then, white light erupted from the point of contact between Lu Yuanming's palm and the MXG Person's wound. The light lasted only two to three seconds. When Lu Yuanming removed his hand, the wound had completely healed. The MXG Person, who had been on the verge of death, suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Lu Yuanming, dumbfounded.
At this moment, everyone surged forward. Father Edward, who was closest to Lu Yuanming, immediately stepped in front of him and sternly addressed the MXG Person, "In the Lord's presence, cast aside the evil thoughts in your heart!!"
The MXG Person stared blankly at Lu Yuanming. If anyone present could be called "Lord," it could only be Lu Yuanming. His nearly two-meter height made him stand out in the crowd. The MXG Person stared blankly, then burst into tears, babbling incoherently and repeatedly kowtowing to Lu Yuanming on the ground.
Everyone instinctively looked at Lu Yuanming. Lu Yuanming stated directly, "Sorry, I don't understand what he's saying."
Charlie coughed beside him and said, "Father, he's speaking XBY Language, which I happen to understand a little. He's confessing his sinful life. He joined a gang as a child, then joined the Drug Trafficking Group, and then smuggled Drugs to the USA. During that time, he killed dozens of people, raped some women, and trafficked some people from Asia..."
Lu Yuanming's brow twitched as he listened. He then directly pushed Father Edward aside and approached the MXG Person. "Your sins are grave. Although you have died and arrived in this afterlife, you were clearly not killed as punishment by the law. Therefore, I am not qualified to forgive you on behalf of the innocent victims. I am only responsible for sending you to meet those innocent people. If that is the case, are you still willing to reveal the whereabouts of your accomplices?"
After saying this, Lu Yuanming looked at Charlie. Charlie hesitated. At this moment, the MXG Person suddenly spoke, "I can understand the Lord's language. Oh Lord, I am truly wicked and unforgivable. In the Lord's light, I feel its warmth and the pure beauty of life. I am truly wicked! Please, Lord, destroy this wicked soul of mine. I will tell you the whereabouts of those evil people now."
This stunned everyone present. The MXG Person then unhesitatingly revealed the location of the remaining MXG People. They were occupying a small warehouse, where they held over forty civilians captive. The MXG Gang occupied the outermost warehouse, preventing the captive civilians from escaping secretly.
After explaining everything, the MXG Person immediately knelt and crawled forward, saying, "Please, Lord, make sure to destroy them all. Not a single one of these people is innocent. Their hands are stained with the blood of the innocent. Old people, children, men, women – they are all executioners just like me!"
Just as the MXG Person was about to reach Lu Yuanming, Charlie immediately stepped in front of him, drew his pistol, and pointed it at him. "Stop!"
Seeing this, the MXG Person's eyes lit up. He then directly rammed his forehead into Charlie's pistol. Charlie didn't hesitate and pulled the trigger. The Bullet directly pierced the MXG Person's forehead.
Strangely, the MXG Person had a smile on his face, a smile that seemed like happiness.
(How is this possible!? A heinous scumbag like this repented just like that? Are the beliefs of Europeans and Americans truly this terrifying?)
Lu Yuanming was utterly bewildered. He then noticed a faint, colorless, transparent light emanating from the gunshot wound on the MXG Person's forehead. However, this colorless, transparent light was very weak and couldn't heal the gunshot wound. But seeing this, Lu Yuanming had some guesses.
(That's right, healing his injuries didn't consume a whole Colorless Light Particle. Clearly, some Colorless Light Particles remained inside him. These Colorless Light Particles were the purest wishes and blessings from my parents and medical staff towards me, pure and selfless. Could it be that such wishes or Faith Power infected him?)
Lu Yuanming thought about the words "warmth and the pure beauty of life" that the MXG Person had mentioned. Perhaps it was indeed the lingering influence of the Colorless Light Particles.
Although Lu Yuanming thought this, the onlookers immediately fell into a state of fervor.
They had witnessed an incredible miracle.
A criminal who had killed countless people, and very likely wasn't a believer or follower at all, under the Messiah's inspiration, immediately recognized his sins. Not only did he reveal the location of his accomplices, but he was also eager to die and end his life. If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would never have believed such a thing could happen. Immediately, another round of prayers that gave Lu Yuanming a headache began.
Lu Yuanming repeatedly denied, "No, it's not divine enlightenment, nor is it a criminal's repentance. I think it's very likely caused by Faith Power..."
"Yes, it's faith!"
Father Edward said fanatically, "It is faith that allows us to see the Lord's Mercy, and it is faith that allows the Messiah to descend among us once more!"
"Messiah!"
"Our Savior!"
"Amen!"
Lu Yuanming felt a headache coming on. He rubbed his temples and said, "No, this faith... Forget it. Peter, you're a good shot. Pick a gun here."
Peter was also praying. He was slightly stunned when he heard this, then immediately obeyed Lu Yuanming's words and chose one of the two semi-automatic rifles. Then Lu Yuanming looked at Charlie and said, "Charlie, you and your subordinates who you think are good shots should also pick one."
Charlie nodded in understanding and led his subordinates to select several weapons. One of his subordinates specifically picked up an FGM-148 anti-tank missile. This subordinate was the one who had previously told Lu Yuanming the name of this weapon. Looking at his fanatical expression, it was as if this weapon was his Deity.
Thus, only one pistol remained in the end. It was precisely the pistol Lu Yuanming had picked up next to that White Police Officer. Lu Yuanming took the pistol himself. He then said to Father Edward, "I will go with them to eliminate the MXG Gang. You will guard the base well. If you encounter Monsters or other dangerous situations, it is better to abandon everything outside and take everyone into the Vault. You can only open it after we return. Do you understand?"
Father Edward immediately said, "I will certainly obey my Lord's command!"
Only then did Lu Yuanming look at Peter, Charlie, and Charlie's few subordinates. He smiled and said, "Let's go, we'll eliminate the enemy, and then... start building our home!"
