Dick found himself landing on a translucent platform again, surrounded by a semicircular transparent protective cover.
Looking at Virgil who was holding back his smile, Dick covered his head helplessly.
"I look funny, don't I? Did you just hide quietly on the fifth floor Hell to watch my show?"
"I'm not there, but I've been waiting here, and now I just want to chat with you.
"Well, let's do that."
Looking at Dick's child-like appearance, Virgil walked up to him condescendingly, stretched out his index finger and tapped Dick's head lightly.
Dick felt a warm feeling all over his body and closed his eyes involuntarily.
When the warmth disappeared, he opened his eyes and found that his body had returned to its adult appearance.
"You can put on your clothes now."
"Can you repair my armor too?" Dick said pitifully.
Virgil shook his head helplessly and pointed at the broken armor. In just a moment, the armor was restored to its original appearance.
"Oh, thank you very much.
"Without clothes, I always feel like a hairless orangutan being displayed in front of everyone." Dick Only then did I feel the confidence returning to my body.
He looked at the girl in front of him again, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"Let's go down first and talk." As soon as he finished speaking, the transparent platform slowly fell to the ground, and the translucent protective film also disappeared at the same time.
"This sixth level Hell is called Inquisition. As the name suggests, there are people who used the name of the church to deceive and harm the world during their lifetime. After death, they will come here to be punished. Only if they truly understand the true meaning of the church they founded will they be reincarnated."
Watching Virgil walking carelessly on this spacious street, Dick followed step by step. This space has blue sky and green grass, the streets are extremely clean, and there are majestic churches neatly arranged on both sides.
"Aren't you afraid that the rulers of this level will find us when you are so arrogant?" Dick asked.
"Don't worry, no one will notice our presence;
"Besides, this layer Hell has no ruler, or in other words, this layer Hell is the ruler."
"What does this mean?"
"Literally, you can think that this layer of Hell is a god or demon or other creature named 'Inquisition'. He is extremely huge and can accommodate the world.
"And I have a good relationship with him, and he won't let us be detected by the spirits here."
"I see, then I can go directly to the next level Hell."
"Dick, please be patient and wait for me to chat with you before I personally take you to the next floor Hell."
"When I first saw you, I could tell from your handsome appearance that you were a warm-hearted person." Dick complimented.
"You..., forget it, let's go for a walk together."
After walking a few steps, the two came to a church door. Virgil opened the door and entered, followed closely by Dick.
In the middle of the church, there is a soul kneeling there as if praying.
Looking at its outline, Dick already knew who this person was.
"Duncan!" Dick drew the black sword from behind and put his whole body on guard.
"Be calm, Dick, I told you that no one can find us here.
"At this time, Duncan is in the process of atonement and enlightenment. According to the rules here, no one can hurt him."
Dick takes back the long sword.
"Let's sit down for a while and talk about Duncan!"
Then, the girl found a seat and sat down, and Dick saw this and sat next to him.
"Virgil, what do you want to talk about him?"
"Do you know the life experience of Duncan?"
Dick thought about it carefully and opened an account after a moment, "He was carrying Blood of the Source, and he also met Geralt, and finally joined Church of the Eternal Fire and became the archbishop."
"Well, that's right," Virgil nodded, "Then do you know why he joined Eternal Fire?"
"Power, status, wealth, or Eternal Fire provided him with a sense of security and a sense of mission to save the world." Dick replied casually with a hint of sarcasm.
"What you said does make some sense. Cult of the Eternal Fire emerged in your turbulent era of frequent wars and Monster in the world.
"Under such a background, the people were trapped in endless terror and insecurity, and this sect brought a glimmer of hope to the people by virtue of the sacred Flames it preached and its unremitting pursuit of order.
"This sect solemnly promises to protect its believers. As long as people join it, it will lend a helping hand, expel all evil forces, and build an orderly society.
"And it did.
"This kind of promise did have great appeal in the early days of the chaotic era, causing many people with lofty ideals and ordinary people to throw themselves into the arms of Eternal Fire.
"Do you know why Eternal Fire failed at Free City?"
"Because on the whole, this Church of the Eternal Fire did nothing, burned warlocks and kind spirits to death, and exploited the people."
"That's what it means, but I can summarize some more clear concepts."
"Huh? Tell me." Dick looked curious.
"I can't talk to you in depth about that. You can think about it yourself."
"Why?" Dick was surprised.
"Because..." Virgil pointed to the sky, "There will be a more terrifying existence than Hell to suppress us."
Dick nodded solemnly.
"Well, that's good. Today's conversation ends here. It seems that I will open the portal to the next level Hell for you."
After saying this, Virgil did not wait for Dick to reply. He pointed his hand forward, and a portal with a faint light appeared, and then disappeared into the air with the white dove on his shoulder.
Dick shook his head, every time Virgil came and went without a trace.
He was about to step into the portal, and Duncan on the side discovered Dick. He shouted like a madman, "Dick! Dick!"
Dick looked alert and was about to pull out his sword.
"You know what? I finally understood the highest secret of the church."
"What? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Seeing Duncan's soul say this, Dick stopped and looked at the man in front of him.
"I'm telling you, I have understood the ultimate meaning of the church. I don't blame you for killing me, but I should thank you.
"Here, I gained information about many other churches in different worlds, and finally understood that if the church wants to last forever, it must..."
"What do you want?"
"Hahahaha, we have to kill the blood-sucking insects."
"What blood-sucking insect?"
"The worm that clings to the backs of the people lives on the blood of the people."
Duncan made exaggerated gestures with his hands, "The more he sucked, the more he sucked, until his abdominal sac was burst. And that blood-sucking worm, the blood-sucking worm taught himself! Hahahahahaha."
After that, he shouted, "I have accomplished something great today!" while rushing out of the door.
Dick shook his head and murmured, "Crazy."
Seeing this situation, Dick has no intention of killing the soul in front of him.
Then, he retracted his sword and stepped into the portal.
