Chapter 130: 106. The Great Holy War


Sixth District.

Zhang Quan walked along the road. As the Scripture Reader of the Sixth District, today he was going to organize an assembly.

This assembly was to unite all believers for the upcoming holy war.

So, even under the pressure created by the security forces and the Special Operations Department, the assembly had to proceed.

He smoothly turned into a small alley in the residential area, holding a burning candle lantern, the fiery red light illuminating the alley.

Arriving at a door, Zhang Quan was about to open it, but suddenly felt something was amiss, and turned sharply, shouting coldly into the darkness, "Who's there?"

"It's me." A hoarse and haggard voice responded. As the light cast over, Zhang Quan finally recognized who it was.

"Luo Fei? What are you doing here?"

Luo Fei quickly stepped forward and said, "Let's talk inside."

Zhang Quan ushered Luo Fei inside and immediately questioned, "What happened? You're a believer from the Fourth District, why have you broken the rules to come to the Sixth District? What really happened with Plant blowing up? How are the people from the Fourth District?"

Luo Fei sat on the ground, looking somewhat crushed, and said, "It was Falk, the Gold Messenger who was captured earlier by the security forces. The security forces released him afterward, actually using him as bait to trace our Fourth District gathering.

That damned night after our gathering ended, I don't know if it was the security forces or someone else, but they blew up Plant.

Most of the believers in the Fourth District were arrested or killed.

Only a few managed to escape... I... when I fled, my family was captured. They used my family to threaten me to come out. I know they wanted to use me to extract more information about the Master of Revelation.

How could I betray the Master of Revelation for the sake of two sinners?

I fled. Those damned beasts killed my family.

But I only did it to not betray the Master of Revelation!"

Luo Fei clutched Zhang Quan's pants, appearing somewhat desperate. Zhang Quan patted Luo Fei's head, comforting him: "It's not your fault, you shouldn't feel guilty, those two were sinners who hadn't cleansed their sins.

They covered for you, a devout believer, with their lives, which is also a redemption for their sins."

Out of Zhang Quan's sight, Luo Fei's face twisted with anger and hatred filling his entire expression.

Yet he forcefully held it back.

From his mouth, his experiences became restructured.

He knew someone was watching him, someone was following him.

If he told Zhang Quan the whole truth, Zhang Quan would quickly realize someone might have followed him here.

So he had to make some artistic revisions.

He hated the Apocalypse Society, hated the security forces, hated Erin.

He wanted them all to pay the price.

Zhang Quan frowned and asked, "Has the entire Fourth District fallen? Have all others been captured? Was it just you who escaped?"

"I don't know. Through the guidance of the candlelight, I found your location. If there are other Candle Holders who escaped like me, they would seek the protection of the Master of Revelation too."

"The Master of Revelation will protect them. Even if they are captured, it doesn't matter. Their faith will prevent them from betraying the Master of Revelation no matter what torture they endure!"

Zhang Quan nodded. Every Candle Holder was the Master of Revelation's most loyal believer and would never betray.

Therefore, Zhang Quan didn't doubt Luo Fei's words much.

He just assumed Luo Fei was fortunate.

Looking at Luo Fei, Zhang Quan sighed and said: "It's a pity the entire Fourth District has fallen. The upcoming holy war will lose a powerful force."

"Holy war?" Luo Fei looked at Zhang Quan, bewildered. Apparently, he didn't know the meaning of the holy war.

Zhang Quan said, "It's normal you don't know. Only Scripture Readers can know the inside story of the holy war. You were almost promoted to a Scripture Reader, but the process was halted because the Yellow-robed Priest sent by headquarters will guide this holy war, and to avoid complications, your promotion process was temporarily stopped."

Luo Fei suddenly realized. No wonder a big figure was dispatched from headquarters, and his promotion was put on hold. So that's why.

Luo Fei immediately became anxious and said, "I am now a Candle Holder, am I allowed to know this information?"

Zhang Quan smiled and said, "Now is precisely when the Church needs people! We have lost three whole Scripture Readers!"

"Three? Weren't there only two? Both died in the hands of the security forces..."

"There's one you are unaware of. That Scripture Reader sacrificed himself heroically for the cause. The Arabic Priest issued a gag order, forbidding the disclosure of that Scripture Reader's identity.

Once you become a Scripture Reader, certain things you will learn.

The gap caused by the three is quickly affecting the start of the holy war. During an earlier meeting, the Arabic Priest already requested us to immediately choose potential newcomers to promote and fill the vacancies.

After the Fourth District's incident, I thought you were unfortunate. Felt sorry for you.

Didn't expect you to survive."

Zhang Quan excitedly said, "Come with me to attend this assembly. After the assembly ends, I'll take you to the branch to meet the Arabic Priest and have you promoted as the new Scripture Reader."

Luo Fei, filled with an anxious joy, said, "Thank you, Brother Quan!"

"Why be polite between us? I'm the one who guided you into the Church! Your loyalty and devotion are evident to me. You would never betray the Master of Revelation. You are the Master of Revelation's best support!"
