Chapter 461: The Sin Washed Away

"It's the Dark Holy Bible!"

The moment those four characters slipped from his mouth.

The entire interior of the Church—no, this jungle area shrouded by the Church's power—had the very concept of 'light' seemingly ripped away by an invisible giant hand!

Yu Lin's newly restrained Golden Light, the faint dark‑red glimmer lingering in the Holy Bibles held by the six, and the thin moonlight that might have seeped through the doorway cracks—all light sources were utterly extinguished in an instant!

This was not ordinary darkness, but an absolute No Light Domain!

Yu Lin furrowed his brow, about to wield his divine art to dispel the abnormal darkness and lock onto the six targets.

Yet the pure darkness itself began to surge violently, compress, and coalesce on its own!

As if alive, a tall and vague black silhouette formed not far ahead of Yu Lin.

The silhouette had no facial features, no clothing details—just a contour drawn from the deepest darkness—yet it 'stood' there as if the source of all shadows, the very personification of the concept of 'darkness' as a king.

He seemed... to glance at Yu Lin, bearing a complex, hard‑to‑read meaning.

Immediately, the ink‑thick darkness at the silhouette's feet spread rapidly, swallowing like a living thing the six holders of the Dark Holy Bibles who were still writhing in pain, eyes unable to see.

The moment the darkness enveloped them, their forms and breaths vanished completely, as if erased!

Having done all that, the dark silhouette turned to Yu Lin, and a calm, gentle voice sounded at Yu Lin's ear,

"Yu Lin, I really don't wish... to involve you."

"Goodbye."

Hm?

Yu Lin frowned, feeling that something was indeed amiss.

Because his voice was exactly like Jesus's, could it be that Jesus, unwilling to be lonely in Heaven, had descended to play?

That shouldn't be; Jesus wouldn't do such a thing.

But before Yu Lin could respond or act, the dark silhouette and its emanating absolute darkness receded and collapsed like a tide, finally becoming a black dot that vanished silently into the air.

The interior of the Church regained its usual dimness, and the pale moonlight filtered through the canopy finally poured through the open doors, spilling onto the ground and illuminating it, as if everything that had just occurred were merely an illusion.

Yu Lin stood where he was, his brow still unrelaxed.

At the moment the dark silhouette appeared, his 【Good‑Evil】 trait captured extremely crucial information.

Gai Yin, as the embodiment of evil, made the silhouette feel to Yu Lin... that it could give birth to Gai Yin!

"The level that can nurture Gai Yin..." Yu Lin muttered softly, his eyes deepening with thought:

"Things seem to be getting interesting... never mind, I'll just ask directly."

A thought flickered; Yu Lin lifted his hand and plucked the Silver Coin from around his neck.

Then he took out a blank sheet of paper.

He wrapped the Silver Coin in the center of the white paper, flicked his finger, and sent it soaring into the sky, accompanied by a flash of WhiteLight that quickly fell.

It then fell straight onto Yu Lin's hand.

He looked down and saw that the once‑blank paper now bore a line of text:

【You once gave me Baptism, and he is the sin I wash away for humanity】

He is the sin that Jesus washes away for humanity?

If that's the case, Yu Lin understood a little.

Baptism has a crucial ability: it symbolizes the washing away of original and personal sin, becoming clean before God and attaining spiritual rebirth.

And Jesus himself is sinless; his Baptism was not for the forgiveness of his own sin.

One purpose of it is—he will redeem humanity's sins!

If so, Yu Lin formed a hypothesis.

Sin does not vanish without cause; the cosmos maintains a balance of good and evil, so perhaps... these sins have formed an existence opposite to Jesus?

And because he bears the sins for Jesus, he could be said to be the embodiment of Jesus's evil side, possessing Jesus's memories, abilities, and so on...

Hmm, it could also be for other reasons.

Yu Lin thinks that to get the answer, he must wait for the next mythic quest and complete Baptism for Jesus to obtain the solution.

Forget it, I'll take another look.

Since Jesus hasn't intervened, that indicates his existence must serve a purpose.

Yu Lin decides not to act now, and will observe the situation first.

If he were to kill him and no one else bore the world's sins, chaos would arise, and ultimately Yu Lin would have to step in to resolve it.

As the widely quoted saying among programmers goes, if code runs in some inexplicable way, don't touch it... let it rest for a while first.

Without further thought, his figure slowly faded.

When he reappeared, he was already back at the Bai Family Hotel.

Upon appearing, he was surrounded by everyone, especially Francis, whose face was full of apology:

"Saint, could you please act?"

"Did you find who it was?"

"We don't know yet; don't worry about it, this isn't something you can handle. Let me take care of it." Yu Lin shook his head, then handed him the box containing Longinus' Gun:

"I've placed a seal on the gun; unless a prayer receives Heaven's permission, no one can lift it."

"Be careful, don't let it be stolen again."

He wasn't after this top‑tier Holy artifact.

Because he doesn't need it; even his Glove, let alone his Chi Xiao, would suffice.

If really needed, picking up two talismans from Lao Jun would be a minor issue.

Francis was startled and hurriedly said, "Saint, don't you know that once you obtain this Holy Gun, losing it would also cost you your life?"

"You should keep it, just in case..."

Seeing him with an extremely worried look.

Yu Lin gave a faint smile, directly took out the two blades he used when seizing Jesus's corpse, along with that blood‑stained set of clothes:

"I have three more holy artifacts like this."

"It has no right to judge my life."

"Alright, I'm going to rest; you handle the rest."

Having said that, he shoved the box into Francis's hand, turned toward the front and walked away, and in the blink of an eye he vanished.

He left the crowd stunned in place.

Finally, Bai Xiaoxia spoke, her face full of admiration:

"My brother Yu is still my brother, huh? Not only is he handsome, but also rich. If I were a woman........."

"Hey hey hey, Wen Sha, what are you doing?"

Wen Sha released his hand that had been gripping his shoulder, pulled him, and walked forward:

"Don't overthink all that nonsense; tonight I'll show you just how good I am!"

"You'd better be able to hold out longer."

The two walked away, and the remaining crowd, seeing this, dispersed on their own.

Tonight's events didn't cause much commotion.

After all, with Yu Lin present, there were no accidents.
